Gel-Kayano and Gel-NYC retro runners now resell well enough to be copied in popular colorways. ASICS says it cannot verify purchased pairs, so an independent ASICS authentication is how you find out before you buy or sell. An authenticator checks the size label against the colorway, then the shape, stitching, insole, outsole and box label against verified references.

What we check on ASICS

How to tell a real ASICS from a fake

On ASICS the size label is the first check: its style code has to match the model and colorway, and its print has to be clean. These are the photos we check on every pair.

01

Size label and style code

Style code and color code matching the colorway, and the print quality of the label.

02

Side profile

Panel shapes, the ASICS stripes and the overlays for the exact model.

03

GEL details

GEL windows and branding on the midsole, and the foam color.

04

Stitching

Even stitch density around the toe, heel and stripes.

05

Insole

Logo print and the finish of the insole.

06

Outsole

Tread pattern and moulded logos for the model.

07

Box label

Style code, color name and size matching the label inside the shoe.

Free Code Checker

Read your ASICS Style Code

On ASICS sneakers the model code, four digits, a letter and three digits, sits on the size label inside the tongue, and the box adds three digits for the color. Codes on the box and the shoe should match, but a correct code proves nothing alone, so ask our experts to authenticate the pair.

Featured questions

Have more questions? Visit our Help Center

Can ASICS verify if my shoes are real?

No. ASICS says in its scam notices that it cannot verify whether a purchased product is counterfeit, and we know of no official QR code or serial check on ASICS labels. That is what an independent authentication is for: send photos and we compare your pair with verified references for that model.

Where is the style code on my ASICS, and does it prove they are real?

On the pairs we check, it is at the top of the size label inside the tongue and on the box label. The style code names the model and the colorway, so it has to match the box and the shoe, but counterfeiters print correct codes too. Our free style code check shows whether a code is built the way ASICS builds it. It is one checkpoint, not the verdict.

Can you check ASICS from Vinted or eBay before I pay?

Yes. Ask the seller for the side profile, the size label inside the tongue, the box label, the GEL details on the midsole, the insole and the outsole. Upload them before you pay and we check the pair against references for that model and colorway.

Do you authenticate Onitsuka Tiger?

Yes. Onitsuka Tiger is an ASICS brand, and pairs such as the Mexico 66 are checked on our Onitsuka Tiger page from the same kind of photos.

Which photos should I upload for authentication?

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.

How long does LegitGrails authentication process take?

We provide a range of authentication response times to suit your needs, with options including 12 hours, 6 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes.

What happens if my item is deemed fake?

In the unfortunate event that your item is deemed counterfeit by LegitGrails, we will provide you with a comprehensive report of our findings and inform you of the result.
