Once again, the absolutely most reliable part of our guide on how to spot counterfeit Balenciaga Triple S sneakers is to analyze the area that draws the most attention — the side logo.

Since Balenciaga changed the font on their sneakers, we’ll dive into a comparison of both the new and the old Balenciaga logos.

The main flaw in the text is that usually fake pairs come with the “B” character thicker than it has to be. Besides this letter, you can see even the rest of them being bigger, but this is more visible by looking at the “G” and the “A”.

THE BACK
Look at the back of Triple S sneakers, the leather quality is not up to scratch and the edges of the leather trim are too rough. Where the white mesh touches the highest midsole there are glue stains on the fake that aren’t seen on the authentic shoe. The positioning of the “Balenciaga” at the bottom appears to be too low down as well. Look carefully the pictures below to see all the details, the stitching in the back, the leather and the sole with the ‘Balenciaga’ engraving.

Though Demna Gvasalia’s Balenciaga Speed Trainer technically debuted first in November of 2016, it was arguably the Triple S – released the following year and worn daily by icons like Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin – that cemented the trend into the hearts and minds of the fashion masses.

If any of the many textures are not present on a version that typically features them, it means the shoe is not genuine.

1. Package of original sneakers (model 2019) is of white or gray color, has stickers with the model, size, article, without Chinese letters.

2. Sneakers are placed in a special white fabric bag. If instead of it there is a transparent bag - the shoes inside are not real. Going out for a purchase, it would be smart to take electronic scales with you, since heavy weight is the highlight of this shoe. On average, a pair of original Balenciaga Triple S weights 1.8 kg. Fakes will be 300-400 g lighter.
