## Sneaker Authentication

### How does Sneaker authentication work?

Entrupy uses artificial intelligence to examine the smallest details of an item and create an accurate authenticity report. After you photograph the shoes using our light box, the learning algorithm will compare them to thousands of data points collected from both genuine and counterfeit products. Our AI can then determine if the item is genuine or not, delivering a “Verified” or “Unidentified” result. The whole process can be completed in as little as 30 seconds.

### Why should I trust Entrupy more than another service or a certified expert?

As counterfeiters become more sophisticated, anti-counterfeit technology needs to keep up. Our objective, science-based approach is powered by machine learning algorithms that are constantly improving and adapting to the ever-changing sneaker markets. You can trust our solution to be accurate, unbiased, and always available.

### What sneaker styles do you authenticate?

Entrupy’s sneaker verification is currently compatible with 70% of the top selling brands and models, including: Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Yeezy, New Balance, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Balenciaga, Louboutin, Off-White, Dior, Louis Vuitton, ASICS, Vans, Converse, Reebok, Hoka, On, Saucony, Salomon, and Veja.

### Can you authenticate used sneakers?

Although our current solution only guarantees accuracy for new products, we’re constantly working to train our algorithms to recognize patterns of wear and tear. While we expand the list of brands and styles we can authenticate, we’ll keep you updated on the latest advancements in our technology.

### What happens if Entrupy issues an incorrect result?
