Nike Dunks are simple and stylish, making them prime targets for counterfeit manufacturers. Fortunately, there are several ways to confirm their authenticity, and we’re here to walk you through the entire process! From checking the logos and soles to inspecting the stitching and labels, here’s everything you need to see if you have fake or real Nike Dunks.

Things You Should Know

  • Fake Nike Dunks often have messy, inconsistent stitching around the swoosh logo and midsole.
  • Real Nike Dunks have an evenly stitched “NIKE” logo on the back of both heels and well-punched perforations all over the toe box.
  • Search the style number on the interior size tag online to see if you have authentic shoes. The style number for Nike Dunk Pandas is DD1391-100.

Tips

  • Try to buy Dunks directly from Nike to avoid purchasing fakes. If that’s not possible, stick to reputable retailers like Foot Locker, Finish Line, and Dick’s Sporting Goods.[7]
  • If you’re buying Dunks from a reseller, check that the product label is clearly visible on the box and each shoe. Most counterfeit manufacturers hide them to scam people.
  • If you’re buying Dunks from a third-party platform, like StockX or GOAT, be doubtful of any shoes that are being sold below retail price. Popular models, like the Dunk Low UNC and SB Travis Scott range anywhere from $300-$1000+.
