Appearance: Inspect the upper's texture and color partitioning. The true sneaker uses consistent black panels with crisp, even stitching and a faultless gradient effect along the waves. Look for the reflective piping in the midfoot, uniform air unit visibility, and a clean under-arm curve. Any misalignment or plastic sheen excess signals counterfeit. Check interior tag. Compare with official POIZON imagery.
