The Oversized Sneaker's thick sole helps a fake look convincing in a listing photo, but the back of the shoe usually gives it away. An Alexander McQueen authenticity check looks at the heel tab shape, the stitching where the sole texture changes, the logo print weight, the inner tongue print, the insole and the box. Bags and scarves can be authenticated here as well.

Very useful. Found a counterfeit pair of shoes I would have never figured out.

What we check on Alexander McQueen
How to tell a real Alexander McQueen from a fake
On a McQueen Oversized Sneaker the heel tab is the first tell: its top edge is straight on a genuine pair and softer and rounder on most replicas. These are the parts we check from your photos.
01
Heel tab
A straight top edge, not rounded, and the size of the tab against the heel.
02
Midsole stitching
Stitches that stop exactly where the sole texture turns from smooth to grainy.
03
Heel logo
Bold, bright lettering with tight spacing, on the heel tab and the back of the shoe.
04
Heel shape
The bump at the heel and the width of the heel area.
05
Inner tongue print
Position, shade and font of the print inside the tongue.
06
Tongue logo
Logo weight and spacing on the outer tongue.
07
Sole
Sole bulk, rubber feel and the size of the moulded logo.
08
Box and dust bag
Box label matching the size, color and article number of the pair.

Not a public one that we know of. As far as we can see, the numbers and codes inside a McQueen sneaker are style and size references shared by every pair of that model, so a lookup cannot prove a pair is real, and a card or code a seller shows you can be copied. We compare the heel, the stitching, the tongue print and the insole with verified references.
Start at the back. A genuine heel tab has a straight top edge, and the heel logo is bold and bright with tight spacing. Then check the midsole stitching, which on a real pair stops exactly where the sole texture changes from smooth to grainy. Our Oversized Sneaker guide shows each detail.
We have not seen a standard McQueen authenticity card for the sneakers. Any card, receipt or box a seller shows you is one checkpoint and can be copied, so it proves nothing on its own. Send photos of the shoes and the box and the verdict rests on the pair.
Ask for the heel tab and heel logo straight on, the midsole stitching at the heel, the inside of the tongue, the insole, the outsole and the box label. Upload them before you pay and we check the pair against verified McQueen references.
Yes. Every McQueen item is checked on this page from photos. On clothing we read the care label with the label set and the construction, on bags the hardware, stitching and interior labels, and on scarves the print, the edges and the label.
For the most accurate and quick authentication process, we advise you to upload clear photos of the areas visible when clicking 'Upload photos' on this page. We quickly determine if the uploaded photo meets our criteria. If your photos do not meet the criteria, you will receive a request for more and/or clearer photos. Check out Photo Instructions to find clear examples for each detail.
We provide a range of authentication response times to suit your needs, with options including 12 hours, 6 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes.
