  • You can't fall into the trap of scammer online stores. There are a lot of online stores that are dedicated to the sale of sneakers exclusively online, able to show you the best images and all the details of this popular silhouette, to the point that you can get to think that it is an official website of a prestigious Sneakers store. The best trick to detect if a website is legal or not is: social networks. If that website does not have icons that take you to social network accounts where you can see the daily activity of that store, it is possible that it is a fraudulent website. Nowadays all onlineSneakers stores have social networks to promote their products.
  • The price of the sneakers: We are facing a current sneaker, recently launched at the beginning of February in 2019. So its price cannot go below 180€, which is its launch price. If the shoe is below this price, it is another reason to start to doubt about your purchase. The sale price may be a bit cheaper, but it will never come close to the 60/90€ that you may be charged for the fakeNike Air Max 720. If you want to find this original model, we recommend that you go to our price comparator, where you can compare prices from the best Sneakers stores online in Europe.
  • The silhouette has a large number of colorways. With full trend in this type of bulky sneakers, Nike has launched a variety of colors, to everyone's taste of course. And there is also a variety of materials in this silhouette. As usual counterfeiters are even able to invent new color combinations, to solve this problem in terms of colors, you need to look for the color code that can be found in the product descriptions of the Nike Air Max 720 on the official website of Nike.

Logos and labels

This model features three large, highly visible logos, located on the side, front of the upper, and heel pull tab. None of them should be missing on your sneakers, as all Nike Air Max 720 features these logos in their original version. Proof of this is this colorway that you will see in the images, called"Northern Lights". Another point that you should not miss is the label located inside the tongue, where you can check the article code of each color, to know if it is official or not, just put it in google and see if it matches the original, not being visible, counterfeiters do not usually take care of this detail, so it becomes one of the main differences to know an original Nike Air Max 720.

Upper and stitching

Watch out for this area! Very important in terms of quality, obviously the manufacture of the original product will have high quality finishes and materials. You will be able to tell the difference if you have been able to test both silhouettes on your hands. You should also know that the upper of this silhouette has two types of manufacturing so far, one with a perforated mesh style as is the case of this model that you can see in the images and another with a smooth shape that is usually more used in the colorways that have a gradient effect. As for seams, this sneaker lacks them throughout its upper, you can only see them on the tongue puller. On the other hand, you must differentiate very well the undulations that presents this silhouette, it is as easy as going to the website of some online Sneakers store with great reputation and make comparison of their images with those of the site where you want to buy your new Nike Air Max 720.

Outsole

This minimalist outsole composed of an Air Max unit in 720º format may be easy for counterfeiters to create, on them we can only see the "Air Max" logo on the heel. It is in the long run where you can notice the difference in quality between the original or fake models, the fake soles will offer less resistance and maybe you can suffer a puncture of your Air unit and run out of "wheels" halfway. That's why we always recommend you to be a "Legit" Sneakerhead and go for the authentic Nike Air Max 720, it will be worth the quality in the end.
