Appearance
Assess the shoe's exterior by matching the fabric texture to a smooth, even weave with no pulling or loose threads. Check the rounded toe, flat heel, and low-top silhouette for consistent geometry. Ensure the Phantom Black colorway mirrors official images, with uniform stitching, clean borders, and balanced panel alignment across the upper and outsole for a credible look in person.
Label
Label authenticity centers on official serials, care instructions, and the Style ID. Check that the size tag corresponds to the product line and the model ID matches M2002RDB exactly. Inspect the inner label for legible font, proper spacing, and correct care symbols. Compare holograms or QR verification when available, and ensure packaging includes consistent branding across lids, inserts, and tags.

Appearance
Evaluate exterior craftsmanship: the leather upper should show even grain and consistent finish, with clean edge seams and uniform texture across panels. Verify the low-top profile, round toe, and flat heel align with the model’s silhouette. Confirm White dominant with Black/White/Gray accents match official imagery, and that stitches, eyelets, and sole edges are symmetrical and well-finished, under standard inspection protocols.
Label
Label authenticity focuses on internal marks, materials labeling, and barcode accuracy. Check that size, country of origin, and care icons are legible and correctly positioned. The sizing tag should align with the Style/Model ID. Look for authentic holographic or subtle security features on the box and tissue, and verify serials against POIZON's verification records. Consistency across packaging confirms genuine origin.
