Ive got dots in front of my eyes!! LOL Nice Bapsta's man, I generally prefer the solid colour patent Bapes myself, but there is no dought that these will certainly get you noticed and will match up with dozens of colours too. Liking the hoodie too, subtle but a great classic style Bape hoodie for sure

Although I dont own anything by Bape its my understanding that very often the same fake shoe is used to counterfiet Nike Air Force 1's. One of the most obvious signs of a Bape Fake, as with Air Force 1's is if the shoe only has 7 lace holes and not 8. You will also find the Bape Star swoosh is generally cut very poorly, the edges of the star being too rounded and not sharp enough. Each point of the star should look the same, on fakes they can often vary in size with maybe 1 point being much begger than the rest due to poor cutting.. The stitching on the heel of a Bape shoe is also one way to tell. The stitched words BAPE and Sta and also the R in the little circle should all be seperately stitched, ie not attatching threads joining them. The insoles also have the Bape logo inside and they should be facing opposite ways as you look inside them, if both shoes have the Bape logo inside the sole the same way round then they are probably fake. And finally look at the price and country of origin. Be realistic, you are not going to get real Bapes for a few dollars, or from mainland China for that matter. Also Bapes are made in limited runs, many of which have been sold out, or only availible in the larger or smaller sizes. If you really still aint sure ask you supplier if he can send you 100 pairs of your size, if he can then you know he is only gonna be able to supply fakes, cos unless its just been released he aint ever gonna have deadstock of 100 pairs of any Bape shoe!! Probably loads more ways to identify the fakes, but that should get you by for now

happy new year to you too gush. basically its VERY hard! you have got some main give aways like rmc e.g. the price bape tariners are not cheap,packaging, and the stitching and detailing on the shoes.

the best advice is too buy from reliable sources, bape is ONLY available at bape shops. there is only ONE in the UK (London Upper Street). There is no bape website for the UK where you can buy. There is however for Japan and USA. Pondon deals with bape stuff and has done for many years, so there stuff is LEGIT.

you can buy from Kixclusive, these guys sell legit stuff.

bape does not have offical retailers like rmc, just bape shops and they do not wholesale to no one!

heres a guide that tells you on how to spot fakes.
eBay Guides - HOW TO SPOT FAKE BAPESTA AND AIR FORCE 1'S

hope this helps dude.

dunny is spot on!
