Fake sneakers flood Marketplace and resale apps. Here is how Australian buyers and resellers use authentication to verify Nike, Jordan and Yeezy pairs.

Sneaker resale in Australia has never been bigger — and neither has the volume of replicas. Whether you are buying off Facebook Marketplace or listing on a resale platform, authentication gives both parties a clearer verdict than guessing from seller photos alone.

What reviewers check on sneakers

  • Box label, style code and size tag alignment
  • Stitching consistency and material quality
  • Midsole pattern, boost or air unit details
  • Heel tab, tongue label and insole branding
  • Outsole pattern and weight relative to the model

When to authenticate Yeezy vs Jordan

High-hype models — Yeezy 350s, Jordan 1 retros, Off-White collabs — are the most commonly faked. Authenticate before you pay in private sales. Resellers benefit too: a certificate supports listing price and buyer confidence.

Authenticate sneakers from $29 AUD.
