FAKE

Appearance cues for authenticity start with silhouette, stitching, and surface texture. The SK8-HI ComfyCush should have a clean high-top profile, evenly spaced double-stitch lines, and a uniform black upper with no color shade mismatch. The Jazz Stripe, if present, remains precise and proportional. The outsole waffle pattern should be crisp, and the heel tag aligned straight. Check logo consistency carefully.

FAKE

Label cues demand consistent typography, alignment, and material. The tongue tag should display a crisp Vans logo with evenly spaced letters, and the model name or line, like ComfyCush, should be present without mis-spaced characters. Interior care labels and sock liner prints must use correct fonts, clear stitching, and matching serial or style codes (VN0A3WMBVNE) where applicable. Every tag matters.

A misaligned tag betrays counterfeit sources to buyers.
