Stay woke, fam. The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 fakes keep getting better and better. As we've seen before with previous Yeezy fakes, the counterfeit manufacturers in China have been working around the clock to improve their replicas. As soon as flaws and inconsistencies with the real pairs are identified, the fake factories simply "fix" the problems and roll out their latest updated version.
In the clip below, which features a pair of sneakers from Perfectkicks.net, you'll catch a glimpse of one of the newest Boost 350 counterfeits. From the box to the tissue paper, they've left no stone unturned in efforts to mimic the real thing. Some of the most noticeable changes from previous fakes include the quality of the stitching down the toe, the shades of color on the Primeknit and outsole, and the color and material of the insole. It's hard to say without actually inspecting them in hand, but from the looks of the video, these could easily pass as the real thing.
A look the retailer's website reveals that these fakes were allegedly made by an actual worker from the adidas factory exclusively for them. This isn't a new concept—it's been long speculated that "grey market" pairs are constructed by legitimate employees with authentic materials in counterfeit factories, but to see it advertised blatantly with such a no-fucks-given attitude is rather eye opening.
The biggest issue here is that when the authentic pairs begin to dry up on the secondary market and "perfect" fakes start flooding in, it becomes more and more difficult to identify the real ones. If you're still on the hunt for a pair of 350s, be sure to do your homework and stay up to date on the differences between the fakes coming out of China so you don't get burned.
