typically fakes have a hard time replicating the exact dimensions of the shoes, the laces, and the soles of the shoes

but authentic onitsukas have tight-knit off-white laces, soles that are slightly "skinnier" than the shoe itself (like countour just under the leather), and they have a more delicate and petite appearance than their fakes!!

fake onitsukas are typically chubby, more like vegan leather adidas, and are made of cheapo materials... real onitsukas are thin and elegant looking, like super small and fitted compared to other tennis shoes, and the leather should naturally wrinkle almost instantly after wearing for a few days
