We all know fake sneakers are a major problem in the sneaker world, and it's gotten worse as of late with the knockoffs getting better and better. It's always been the safest move to buy from an authorized retailer, but with the rise of bots, that's become even harder, forcing us to eBay. Here's a look at some fake sneakers that wouldn't fool anyone.
Shoe: Air Jordan 1 “Obama”
Price: $90 Buy It Now
According to the seller, “These ere limited production and very hard to fin.” That may be true, but they sure weren’t produced by Jordan Brand.
Shoe: Air Jordan 8 “Air Max”
Price: $200 Buy It Now
Jordan Brand did once put Max Air on the bottom of an Air Jordan 2, so don’t feel bad if you did a double take and wondered if these actually did come out.
Shoe: Air Jordan 7 “Clear”
Price: $70 Starting Bid
Leftover full size runs of the clear Kyrie AF1s could lead one to believe the fact these are fake wouldn’t be the only thing people were talking about if you showed up in a pair of these 7s.
Shoe: Air Foamposite One “Galaxy”
Price: $550 Starting Bid
Foamposites are known for their very specific carved shape. This is not that shape.
Shoe:Air Jordan 6 “Champagne”
Price: $300 Buy It Now
The lack of gloss on the upper of these Champagne 6s is a dead giveaway that they are less than legit.
Shoe: Air Jordan 13 “Carolina”

The seller calls these a “rare color and design.” In fact, it’s so rare, they they never were actually made by Jordan Brand.
Shoe: Air Jordan 4 “Laser”
Price: $152.50 Current Bid
It’s hard to say what the craziest part of this auction is: that these 4s are so obviously fake or that the auction actually has 9 bids?
Shoe: Air Jordan 7 “Vintage”
Price:$42.99 Buy It Now
While we’d never vouch for the quality of a fake, at least these were actually worn very often.
Shoe: Air Jordan 7 “Clear”
Price: $58 Current Bid
Good news for those of you looking for clear 7s. You’ve got options.
Shoe: Air Yeezy “Red October”

If only the fake makers would have known how popular red would become, they wouldn’t have wasted their time with the grey trim found here.
