Authenticity Guarantee

Every item sold by Heat Check is 100% authentic. Period.

If you're about to spend $500, $1,000 or $2,000 on a pair, you deserve to know exactly how it got here and what was done to it before it was listed. Here's the process — the same one, every item.

1. Bought at the source

Inventory comes directly from retailers and verified platforms: Nike / SNKRS, Jordan, Supreme, Fanatics, Lids, Undefeated, Kith, Foot Locker, and StockX-verified purchases. No Telegram plugs, no "unverified" marketplace buys, no consignment from strangers. I'm the one who bought it, so I know where it came from.

2. Hand-checked before it's listed

Every box is opened and inspected by hand:

  • Box label, style code and size sticker match the shoe
  • Stitching, glue, shape and materials match the retail reference
  • Insoles, laces, hang tags and extras are present and correct
  • Numbered or serialized pieces are photographed showing the serial

If a pair is a B-grade or has a cosmetic flaw, the listing says so and the price reflects it. Nothing is hidden.

3. Deadstock means deadstock

"DS" on this site means unworn, never tried on, with the original box and accessories. You receive it the way it left the store.

4. Verified track record

Heat Check has sold on eBay as heatcheck_llc and on StockX under the same standards. Look up the feedback — it's the same person and the same inventory you see here.

5. Shipped with care

Every order is double-boxed where needed, shipped with tracking and fully insured. Free shipping on every US order. UK orders ship for a $75 flat rate (import duties paid by the buyer).

The guarantee

If any item from Heat Check is ever shown to be inauthentic by a recognized authenticator, you get a full refund including shipping. That's not a policy I expect to ever use — but it's there, in writing, because you should have it.
