Sneaker Authentication

Adding trust and security to the fast-growing sneaker market

Why Authenticate with Entrupy?​

Safeguard Against Superfakes

A lot of knock offs are easy to spot, but some can be such good copies that even the most expert eyes have trouble telling the difference in photos or in hand. Entrupy’s technology sees things that people can’t, so even the best fakes are flagged for what they are.

Build on Existing Expertise

People with vast expertise and experience authenticating sneakers are out there, but they’re rare. Even if you have one on staff, they can’t work 24/7. Entrupy fills the knowledge gap while protecting buyers and sellers from fake products.

Flip Inventory
Faster

Any doubt if an item is authentic can keep someone from buying. With Entrupy’s Sneaker Authentication technology and financial guarantee, people will have complete confidence that what they buy is the real deal, so you can sell faster at the best prices.

Add Value while Driving Revenue

Connect with the community while adding new revenue by making the solution available to anyone who needs a pair checked out. The service can pay for itself while you earn a reputation as a go-to for legit kicks.

Entrupy sneaker authentication technology uses artificial intelligence capable of analyzing minute details of an item to determine authenticity. Our machine learning algorithms are trained to compare the images collected by the cameras attached to the Entrupy light box against thousands of data points collected from both real and fake versions of products. Based on the results of this comparison, the AI will either verify the item’s authenticity or return an “Unidentified” result.

Each scan from an Entrupy device becomes part of the database, further training the algorithms and making our solution smarter and more accurate.

Our solution is the world’s first and only scalable, technology-driven way to authenticate sneakers. Unlike traditional solutions that rely on human expertise, our technology is objective and science based. It never gets tired, it doesn’t have bad days or go on vacation and it doesn’t let emotion or other subjective criteria impact decisions. And because it’s based on machine learning algorithms, it is always improving, getting more accurate and adapting to the rapidly-evolving secondary market for sneakers. 

Currently, we support 70% of the top selling models. These include Jordans and Yeezys, which are among the most frequently counterfeited styles, as well as other popular models from Nike and Adidas.

Entrupy Authentication has a 99.1 percent accuracy rate. It’s very unlikely that an inauthentic item will be misidentified as authentic, but just in case, we provide a financial guarantee to protect you in the rare case we get it wrong.
