The third series is a silver box with a green label. Other varieties include a silver box with orange label, pink box with black label, pink box with orange label. and a black and purple box with black label. If your box is a different color, then this an indication of a fake.
2. Check the tongue. Real Nike SD Dunks should have a "V" or "U" shaped tongue. Fakes will have a square shaped tongue.
3. Heel section. The font on the heel section should be bold. The letters should slant slightly in descending order. A fake will usually contain odd spacing between letters. The letters are of similar height and do not descend.
4. Workmanship. Check the sole. The fakes are usually poorly constructed. A real Nike SB will be very high quality. The legitimate Nike SB Dunk sole is typically off-white or yellowish transparent. You will not be able to spot any glue. A fake will have a sole that is more transparent. There will be visible glue.
