Authenticating?

How To Spot Fake Bape STA

To authenticate Bape STA start by examining the

overall look of the pair so you get many details at once.
Then check the stitching as well as the midsole. Do not
check the tongue badge followed by the insole method.
Then, observe the tag and soles thoroughly. Finally,
check the box to finish your authentication process
successfully.

Bape STA Authentication: The

Overall Look Method

You can notice how the fake Bapesta Low sneakers have
their threads on the star of the wrong size and thickness
in the image below with the real vs fake Bapesta Low
sneakers comparison.

The fake pair's stitches appear to be overly small, short,

and thin, and this can be seen throughout the
counterfeit Bape star.

The stitching on the star on the actual Bape STAs, on the

other hand, appears to be larger, longer, and thicker
than the threads on the fake pair.

Fake Bape STA: The Stitching

Method

Let's take a closer look at the stitching.

When you compare each stitch on the replica sneaker to

the original, you'll notice how precise and seamless the
real stitches are, but the imitation ones are messy and
dirty.

The logo in the middle of the heel counter should also be

mentioned; the genuine is much bolder, whilst the
counterfeit is paler and plain (fake Nike Air Force 1 Low
White Sneakers have the same giveaway).

How To Legit Check Bape STA: The

Midsole Method

We pointed out how the fake pair's stitching job is done

incorrectly when compared to the clean stitching job on
the real shoes in the image of the legitimate vs fake
Bapesta Low sneakers down below.

Some of the threads on the fake pair are thicker and

shorter than others, however, the threads on the
authentic shoes are all the same thickness and length.

How To Spot Fake Bape STA: The

Tongue Badge Method

The image of the real vs fake Bapesta Low sneakers

demonstrates how the registered trademark "®" symbol
on the fake pair is too thick, but the symbol on the true
pair is slimmer.

The fake letter "B" in Bape's written logo appears smaller

than the legitimate pair's letter "B," since the original
pair's letter is stretched more and wider than the fake
pair's letter.

Bape STA Real Vs Fake: The Insole

Method

The BAPE STA logo should always be facing different

directions on the insoles of dull STAs. Because most
fakes have the insole branding facing the same direction,
insoles are a particularly effective indicator with this
generation. Fakers have improved recently, so if your
insoles resemble the genuine model, be cautious and
check for more information.

Real Vs Fake Bape STA: The Tag

Method

We've highlighted two major problems in the fake pair's

size tag in the comparative image below.

Starting at the top, you can see how the fake pair's "US"
two-letter writing appears to be too thin and narrow in
comparison to the actual one.

When it comes to the genuine article, the legitimate

Bapestas' "US" wording on the size tag is thicker, larger,
and more distinct than the imitation.

Now, on the lower side of the label, we have the text "* A
BATHING APE®," which is likewise too thin and tiny,
although the real shoes have thicker and larger writing.

How To Tell If Bape STA Is Fake: The

Sole Method

The real sole is well-defined with little stars, however, the

copy sole is devoid of these symbols and instead has
some strange bumps. The engraving is also not well
done, as indicated in the left picture, and needs to be
considerably sharper (similar issues can be found with
the Walk'n'Dior Sneakers).

Legit Check Bape STA: The Box

Method

When the blue boxes are disassembled, a "special scene"

with Baby Milo and Baby Lisa is revealed. Fakers haven't
caught on to this yet, as far as we've noticed (they've
barely caught on to the blue boxes as of right now). The
majority of fakes are still packaged in gold boxes.)

The counterfeit box, on the whole, has significantly

darker colors and less detail.

I was looking for a way to authenticate high quality
vintage items and came across LegitGrails. So I sent
them several items to authenticate and they were
terrific. I had to send additional photos a few time
but that gave me more confidence in them!
