Adidas is the world leader in the sports goods industry and, perhaps, the most popular brand in the world among sports shoes. Convenient, stylish, comfortable - she won the well -deserved love of consumers around the world. It is enjoyed with both professional athletes for training and performances, as well as ordinary people for hiking, travel and everyday socks.

The most popular model is the universal Adidas SuperStar sneakers. But not everyone knows how to distinguish the original from fakes, which, due to high demand for products, there are a lot of!

How to distinguish original Adidas Superstar sneakers from a fake?

We look at the appearance carefully!

An important indicator is the material from which the shoes are made. In the production of original products are used Only natural and high -quality materials!Remember - all external inserts are only leather, no substitutes. It is because of this feature that Adidas is in high demand.
And, of course, because of the quality! The original thing with careful consideration can always be distinguished by appearance. She looks very aesthetic - With even, dense and neat seams, without traces of glue and protruding threads.At the same time, the material is densely and neatly fitted.
Logoreal Adidas requires attention. It seems to be funny, but fake analogues can even make an inscription with errors. If you have already eliminated the fake at this stage, then study the evenness of the lines and the clarity of each letter. The original cannot have any scuffs, blur or printing.

Attention to the logo whose shine is not duplicated

In addition, Superstar uses a different color palette that cannot be repeated. And fakes often resort to the repetitions of an old marking. Also understand - The brand signature on the tongue of sneakers and insoles has pronounced tightness and bright color,and on a fake - just a sticker that is quickly erased or washed off with water.

Important: the original has the logo must be on the sole!

We look from the side

Side stripes in the original are somewhat tilted down the sections. While in fake they can be horizontal or completely absent. Although conscientious woeful manufacturers can catch the desired angle of inclination as accurately as possible. But the original line, like on the sole, is smaller and not so noticeable than on a fake.
And as a hint - The distance between these lines should be the same and wider. Due to which a sufficient number of holes for ventilation is obtained. While for fakes this amount can vary and be less than 10.

Front of the shoes or sock

Important: Pay attention to the height of the line. In original adidas sneakers, it is usually higher than a fake. True, this can be noted when comparing two models. It is not entirely easy to catch a millimeter shift by eye. Although on a visual example, you can trace a rude repetition of reliefs and the number of lines themselves. The original has 3 of them!

At the same time, as we see in the photo, this "Shell" of the sock from the rubber texture,what is additional protection for the toes, it varies a little. And again, it is precisely the quality of their fulfillment. In fake models, it is more rough, with expressive seams. And it does not have such smooth bends and holes.

Back or obsolete triangle

Until 2004, original adidas sneakers were released with a certain triangle on the rear, under the logo. But the manufacturers of fakes apparently decided that this was saying for the quality. Therefore, they are stamping a similar “tail” and on new models. Remember - Heel tags (its correct name) is absent from the original!
Anyway The heel of the original shoes is flat, relatively high and wide.

Color palette and inscription

The color of the original product is even and, as a rule, non -core. Original products are not characterized by screaming and acidic colors.
And remember - It is always represented in the official catalog and exactly corresponds to the declared indicator. Therefore, you can verify quality on the site itself by cheering the offered color scheme with the offered shades.
The inscription is printed, in this case, Adidas Superstar has already golden or metal. The fake is engraved, which is poured with similar ink.

Important: in this case, the original line next to the inscription has the shape of a triangle, while the fake has an oval. But this feature acts as a small hint, and not a fundamental characteristic.

Laces also matter

In the original version, ADIDAS sports shoes are always equipped Spare laces. It is possible that the crafts will also delight the buyers with this. But the original manufacturer in all aspects will show the highest service. Therefore, buying the original, you will find neatly salt shoelaces in a plastic bag, and not just in a box or in one of the sneakers.
They also cannot be bright colors or too wide a circle. The original is modest subtlety!

On the left are thinner laces what they say for the original, but on the right a wide fake

On the original sneakers there are no rivets for laces, which we can often notice on the crafts of analogues. Again, this speaks for the high quality of the materials themselves and the accuracy of their processing. Sometimes you can observe this criterion in fakes, which is not always a successful repetition.

Hint: But the number of holes for laces will always give itself out! The original has loops 6 for women and children, and for fakes for all categories will be 7!

Attention to the bar code!

Adidas is a German giant that since 1994 In order to increase the volume of products, most of its production to the third world countries.So to speak, the Germans use inexpensive sewing force according to the original design and from high -quality materials selected in Germany. In addition, this also helps to supply products at a better price for the buyer.
Therefore, even buying shoes at the Adidas Center and Corporate store itself, you will not see the inscription "Made in Germany". After all, sewing was carried out outside the country, which means that there will be an inscription on the labels, for example, "Made in China". But this is not an indicator of the non -original product.
Before delivering to the store, the manufacturer will certainly conduct quality test. And Germany’s barcode on the original Adidas products is affixed regardless of the manufacturer, and this The first three digits from 400 to 440.

The most important distinguishing feature is serial number!

On the tag and tongue of shoes contains The code of the factory, the batch of shoes, the article and the unique number of each sneaker.The unique number is assigned to each thing that allows it to be identified.Therefore, you can double -check all the information on the site.
Also make sure that all the data that are shown in the lower photo in the green frame are the same on shoes, on the tag, and on the box. All these codes must match! But the number for the left and right sneakers is different.

Important: use the smell as a small clue! The original cannot smell of glue or paint, or any unpleasant aroma of chemicals.

Well, in conclusion - the original thing should be bought not on the market, not from hand or via the Internet, but only in Adidas company stores, which are available in almost all countries and in all large cities. We also pay attention to the price - Adidas cannot be cheap and point! After all, you pay for the quality of the product and for the loud name itself.
