In the above video from Complex, the man behind the popular Instagram account @yeezybusta breaks down the telltale signs of illegitimate Yeeyzs.

As mentioned in the clip, the curvature of the Primeknit pattern, the thickness of the outsole, and the quality of the stitching are indicators of the sneakers' authenticity.
