Authentication
Sneaker Authentication
CANSPHERE authenticates sneakers from Nike, Adidas and New Balance, along with collaborations like Travis Scott and Off-White, using the photos you upload. Two human experts and AI cross-check each pair against factory construction, labeling and materials, then issue a digital certificate of authenticity you can verify by code or QR at /verify.

What we inspect
Factory ID codes
We match the factory codes on the size tag and box to confirm the pair came off a legitimate production line.
Stitch geometry
Stitch spacing, angle and density are compared with genuine construction, where reproductions commonly drift.
Midsole profile
The midsole shape, tooling lines and paint edges expose moldwork that counterfeiters rarely replicate exactly.
Laser-coded insole
Laser-etched insole markings are inspected for the crispness, font and placement seen on authentic units.
Box label vs shoe
The box label's size, style code and country of origin are checked for consistency with the shoe's own tags.
UV markers (365nm)
Where a model carries hidden UV features, we verify their pattern and position from a 365nm-lit photo.

Frequently asked
- How do you authenticate sneakers from photos alone?
- You upload clear photos of the pair, box label and any codes. Two human experts and AI then cross-check the factory codes, stitch geometry, midsole and insole against genuine references. Because construction and labeling stay consistent on authentic units, most pairs can be verified confidently without shipping the shoes in.
- How long does a sneaker legit check take?
- Most sneaker checks are completed in about 20 to 55 minutes, always under one hour. If a pair is borderline and our experts need extra angles or a UV-lit photo, we may request more images, which can extend the review beyond the usual window.
- How much does it cost to authenticate one pair?
- Authentication is $15 per pair. You top up a dashboard balance in USDT (TRC-20) with no deposit fees, then spend from that balance per item. There is no subscription, and the price is the same for every brand, from Air Force 1 to Yeezy.
- What do I receive after a real or fake verdict?
- Every completed item gets a digital certificate of authenticity with a unique serial beginning CC-. Anyone can confirm it by entering the code or scanning the QR at /verify, so buyers and resellers can trust the result without contacting you directly.
