Bing 100: real vs fake
The Bing 100 is Jimmy Choo’s pointed-toe, backless slip-on mule on a 100 mm stiletto with a signature crystal strap across the instep. The missing back is how the model is built, not a defect. The crystals and their cut are exactly where replicas cut corners, and they usually botch the insole print and heel set along the way. LegitCheck AI assesses the crystals, heel and stamp from your photos.
What to check on the Bing 100
Model-specific zones – on top of the brand-level signs.
Crystal strap
The Bing’s key detail is a band of densely, evenly set crystals with a clean cut and bright sparkle. Cloudy, mismatched or unevenly glued stones are a clear replica tell.
100 mm heel
A slim stiletto of exactly 100 mm with the correct pitch and a firm attachment. A lowered, thick or crookedly set heel is a red flag.
Insole print
The “JIMMY CHOO” and “Made in Italy” stamp in the correct brand font, even and centered. Drifting type or off-center text gives away a fake.
Pointed toe and strap alignment
The toe is elongated and symmetrical, and the crystal strap sits squarely across the center of the instep with no skew. A shifted or crooked strap points to careless assembly.
Sole and edge
A leather sole with crisp branding, size and an evenly painted rim. A blurry stamp and untidy welt are a typical replica failure.

FAQ
How do I check the crystals on a Bing 100?
Look at the cut, the evenness of the setting and the sparkle: an authentic pair has dense, clean stones of a uniform size. Cloudy, dull or mismatched crystals signal a fake.
How does the Bing differ from the Romy 100?
Both use a 100 mm stiletto and a pointed toe, but the Bing adds a crystal strap over the instep. Check its quality and symmetry in addition to the heel and insole print.
The strap is slightly off-center – is it fake?
On an authentic pair the strap sits squarely across the center of the instep. A visible skew together with cloudy stones is a reason to doubt it, but back a single photo up with insole and sole shots.
