Being reliable and being authentic are two sides of the StockX coin. We wouldn’t exist without either. You can rely on the fact that your sneakers will be the real deal, every time because we go to extreme lengths to authenticate every product. We can make this promise because we know the culture and products, inside out.
Our History of Being Reliable:
It’s not just our authentication process that makes StockX the place to buy and sell sneakers, streetwear, watches, and handbags. From the beginning, there’s never been anything fake about StockX. We’ve got the cultural and marketplace skills on lock.

Authentic Everytime:
Our Authentication process is second to none. We make sure the scammers and bootleggers don’t take your hard-earned cash.
Here’s how we work to always earn your trust and shut down fakes:
- We have a 2-stage process for quality assurance
- Step 1: Verification
- During the verification process, we verify everything about the product.
- We verify product accuracy
- We verify size
- We verify color
- We verify condition
- Step 2 is Authentication
- We verify and perform a detailed review of the packaging
- We verify and perform a detailed review of all product materials
- We verify and perform a detailed review of product construction
Every product passes every single step in the authentication process before they reach the seller. Why do we do this? Why do we invest so much time and energy to train authenticators, and test and re-test every conceivable detail of every product? Simple: because it’s what we do.
This is StockX. Now you know.
