Supra Fakes! How To Avoid Getting Laughed At
So you found a sweet deal on some Skytops on Ebay or a sketchy website? It sounds to good to be true, but you order ‘em anyway. Unfortunately, when they finally get to your door months later they look like shit then fall apart after you walk about two blocks. Guess what? You just got faked!
The good news is that it’s pretty damn easy to tell the real deal Supras from the counterfeit fakers. But before we jump into that, here’s some easy ways to avoid getting hustled.
- Only Purchase Supras From Authorized Dealers. This sounds way too simple beacuse it is. We have a huge list of legit Supra Retailers you can check right HERE. Buy from our homies and you won’t get shoes made of cardboard.
- Mess with Ebay and unauthorized websites at your own risk. It’s funny, because if the first sentence on a lot on Ebay or selling off websites reads something like “These are real, not counterfeit, so don’t ask!” You know they’re usually fake.
- Be Smart. So someone is selling a bunch of the TKs Society on Ebay before the release date? Guess what, they’re not a real Supra Dealer, those are definitely fake. Same goes for that website that’s selling Supras for way cheap, because they’re cheap fakes. If it sounds to good to be true it almost always is.
- Ask us! If you see something on Ebay or a sketchy website deal email us a link and we’ll let you know if it’s fake. For serious, contact us HERE for the answer.
Hiphoper recently did an article about how bad the fakes were, here are some images and explanations from that article.
Starting with the boxes, the counterfeiters always use cheap cardboard and get the graphics wrong, the Supra Crown is obviously missing from the fake and is missing the barcode.
As well as being made from cheap plastic instead of leather, the fake on the right has an embossed crown all wrong and no metal eyelets for the laces. That way they save money, the lace holes stretch and rip out, and you look bad.
The most obvious things about these bread loafs is they usually can’t afford to use real vulk soles, and then they actually paint the black stripes on by hand. Yeah, super ghetto.
And finally pull out those soles. If you got some crappy paper thin cardboard insert instead of our cushy sole with our gel cushion, well, not only do your shoes look bad, your feet are going to hurt.
Anyway, we feel like we owe it to you guys to let you know how to avoid getting got with these fakes. Thanks for supporting us and stay tuned for some more original Supra designs coming your way!

if you look at em they def have different colors than authentic. one more big diff is when you look at the bottom of the shoe the crown has a block on them where the authentic ones have just a crown… you can clearly see them on the ebay pictures. oh yeh.. and if theyre shipping from china.. ummm… you better have paypal buyer protection..ha

Also if you aren’t sure about a website or a pair of Supra’s on eBay come and ask for a legit check on the Supratalk.com forums.

You still forgot that they have like cut out crowns put on the sole and for skytops no stash pocket
and if it’s legit on ebay it’ll say these are 100% authentic. and if they’re fake they usually tell you a big story about something about the.

I got some yellow vaiders from Skate America, they seem a bit more gold-ish than advertised – more like a Lakers kind of yellow, whereas the picture on this site showed a brighter yellow… everything else seems in place though… was I duped? :(

Yo Supra, someone needs to shut down a site called checkyourfootwork.com They have the worst fakes of not only skytops and tks but yeezys, LVs, anything you can name…Pretty sure that’s where the majority of E-Bay fakes are coming from…These people need to be shot.

i am from barcelona and i can tell you that i have the bigest collection of supra kicks from the town, ask marcel, federico or manu from onedist europe, and the sad thing is that theres a store here called hustler store that sells fakes, and they have a lot of models, the owner buys it fron stylegoing.com, a chinese web that sales fake shit from all the brands.
fuck the fakes!!!!!!!!!!

The fakes have been on the market for a long time now. Just follow rule 1 buy your kicks in SKATE SHOPS and you’ll be fine. Got over 15 pairs all legit bought from prodigy skate shop here in Fresno. Stay off eBay too many fake shoes their and check the colors and patterns before you buy them online here just looked at eBay all hightops are 79.00 with color ways and designs that SUPRA has never done with them.

Bro, this is a reason why I don’t buy Skytops off eBay!
They have already made fake TK Societys…..
I was about to buy these exact ones off eBay for like $80. Sometimes they’ll say 100% Authentic but end up not being real. Also Supra do a report on fake TKs…..I can’t really tell the difference, where it is easy to spot out fake skytops!

Anything that sells is going to be copied. The copy is almost always of a far lower quality because the makers are not concerned with quality, they are just copying the look and selling it for a cheap price to get paid.
You eventually end up spending more as the copies will break down FAST and you’ll have to buy a second or third pair. Cheap dyes will be used, your socks will get stained, the soles will peel off, the list is endless.
Buy from your local store or from authorized dealers. If the price seems too good to be true, it a almost certainly is.

Shoebiz San Francisco sells has legit Supras…
May 8th, 2009
2:23 pm
Seriously, I bought some legit vulk lows awhile back and the quality was garbage…
My friend sold me his fake skytops and they kept up way better than my old vulks.
I know buying legit sneakers is better and all but for the price supras retails for, the quality just isn’t there imo.
May 8th, 2009

Pick your own shoes have legit supra but they cost more and Shoebiz in Frisco has legits ones too.I buy mine from their or Utility board Supply or Zumiez or Factory 413.Just click on to the Supra dealers and you will not have any problems
May 8th, 2009

if you know what the real supra’s look like you should be able to tell if they are fakes or not. who would be stupid enough to make fakes of a great shoe

I had Double E’s before supra was popular, I got them from Krudco, a local shop, they are long skated at this point, but they had the “fakes” box, no crown, no barcode, is this the old box or did my local shop rip me off?
May 8th, 2009
11:20 pm
Yo I just bought some fakes! I knew they were fake but damn the colorway is sick and supra don’t even make em.

Buy fakes and show those corporations the middlefinger! Unless you skate, you don’t need high-quality $150 sneakers! Anybody falling for Supra is a fashion victim!

I emailed Supra with the email link they provided. I asked about an auction on ebay that looked legit but I wanted confirmation. They were the only people that had my size.
No reply!!
