The sneaker resale market faces increasing challenges with counterfeit products, particularly for high-value collaborations like the AJ inverted hook series. Kakaobuy has innovated a cutting-edge verification solution
3D Digital Baselining for Authentic Sneakers
Kakaobuy's system begins by creating a millimeter-accurate digital reference library. Using industrial-grade 3D scanners, the team has documented:
- Precise thread stitching angles of authentic inverted hook patterns
- Exact distance between double-stitched points
- Micro-measurements of signature embroidery knots
12-Point Micro Feature Analysis Protocol
The proprietary spreadsheet tool evaluates multiple authenticity markers simultaneously. When resellers submit macro photos, the system automatically:
1. Measures thread density to ±0.02mm accuracy
2. Analyzes hook curvature against OEM blueprints
3. Verifies reinforced stitch spacing patterns
Instant Compliance Scoring Mechanism
Within 90 seconds of photo submission, Kakaobuy's platform generates a comprehensive authenticity report including:
- Numeric match percentage to genuine specifications
- Heatmap visualization of suspicious areas
- Detailed parameter comparisons with latest replica alerts
Field tests demonstrate 92% faster detection of super-replicas compared to manual inspection methods, with false positive rates below 0.7% in controlled evaluations.
