Our Authentication Process
Our Authentication Process
At Am Exclusives, we understand that authenticity is the most important factor when purchasing exclusive sneakers. We do not use third-party "dropshipping" or automated fulfillment. Every pair of sneakers listed on our website is physically held in our inventory at 52 Belhouse Avenue and has been personally inspected to ensure it meets our strict standards of legitimacy.
Our Multi-Point Inspection Protocol
To ensure 100% authenticity, every pair of Nike and Asics sneakers undergoes the following physical checks:
1. Structural & Material Consistency We analyze the "build" of the shoe, comparing the stitching patterns, leather quality, and sole density against retail-verified benchmarks. Replicas often fail to match the precise weight and material feel of authentic production.
2. Manufacturing & Style Code Verification We cross-reference the unique manufacturer Style Code (found on the size tag) with the official manufacturer database. We ensure that the production dates and factory codes align perfectly with the specific release.
3. UV Light & Label Audit We utilize UV light technology to check for "ghost" factory stamps and invisible markings often found on high-quality replicas. We also inspect the box label for correct font spacing, ink quality, and adhesive application.
4. Accessories & Packaging Check Authenticity extends to the extras. We verify that all original accessories—including spare laces, specialized wrapping paper, and hangtags—are present and consistent with the specific sneaker model and year of release.
5. Personal Quality Control As an independent UK specialist, our founder, Archie Miller, performs a final "human" inspection on every order before it is packed and dispatched. We check for factory flaws and ensure the scent of the industrial glues matches authentic manufacturing standards.
