all start is from Converse
1. Shoe Box
CONVERSE shoe box is made of one-piece corrugated paper (the so-called one-piece type: the disassembled shoe box is printed from a piece of paper and is not disassembled and assembled). The printing is clear without ghosting, the color is bright, and the paper is thick and hard. The CONVERSE shoe box changes appearance every year. The shoe boxes of 2004 are black or blue, and the shoe boxes of 2005 and 2006 are black. The production date is printed on the inside of the shoe box.
There are two stickers on the right side of the shoe box. One has a front and side view of the shoe, and is marked with the product name, item number, color and US size; the other has a unified item number printed on it. National unified retail price, model, material, size (US code, European code, Chinese code), computer barcode, and stickers can be removed. The fonts are of high definition and covered with a high-quality reflective film. The effect is different from ordinary stickers. There is also a sticker with markings on the bottom of the shoe box.
2. Moisture-proof paper
A pair of authentic products from specialty stores that have undergone strict inspection must have a piece of translucent moisture-proof paper (copy paper) with the word "CONVERSE" printed all over it. It can wrap two shoes and effectively prevent moisture and absorb moisture. Generally, pirated shoes do not pay attention to these, and only put a piece of cheap ordinary white paper.
3. Desiccant
The Converse shoe box comes with a desiccant. The words "CONVERSE desiccant is not edible" are printed on the desiccant in clear fonts. Generally, pirated shoe dealers will not pay attention to these details. Friends who like Converse should not miss these details~
4. Hangtag
Converse will replace different hangtags from time to time. These hangtags will use different paper materials and different craftsmanship. Leave the imitators behind. The 2005 tags have gone through a matte film (which feels waxy and relatively smooth) and are basically not used in fine imitations; the 2006 tags also use a more advanced embossed effect.
5. Soles
The reason why Converse brand shoes have been selling well for hundreds of years is not only because of their novel styles and endless styles, they are often the most popular necessary equipment among young people. CONVERSE's shoes are made of sufficient materials. A pair of genuine Converse shoes will be relatively heavy, but the sole is the sole. Even a pair of canvas shoes is quite heavy, especially if they are CONVERSE cowhide shoes.
In the middle of the sole is a raised "CONVERSE ☆ ALL STAR" LOGO mark. Next to the logo is an anti-counterfeiting six-pointed star* (as shown in the picture), and next to the star is the registered trademark of ?0?3. The bottom is the shoe size.
Converse's soles are made of disposable virgin rubber. The soles are strong and elastic. Even if they are worn for a long time, the soles will not wear out easily. Converse's shoes are glued with natural environmentally friendly glue, so the glue may open if worn for a long time or incorrectly. The materials used in the fakes are obviously different. Some copycat factories use recycled secondary glue and tertiary glue. The soles are harder and lighter than the original ones, and have no elasticity. They will break after being worn for a while. The rubber pads inside the shoes are of poor quality and are easily deformed. ,smell.
The "CONVERSE" logo on the inside of the shoes is plain or dark blue. The paint is relatively strong and cannot be easily scraped off by hand; counterfeit products are easy to fall off.
6. Shoe body
CONVERSE shoes are mainly made of canvas, cowhide and PU. Canvas shoes are made of canvas or fine mesh with the highest density and best texture, which is durable; cowhide is made of high-quality cow head leather, which is smooth, high-quality, durable, and easy to care for. Basketball shoes and casual shoes are made of imported PU, which is waterproof. In order to save costs, fine imitations use domestically produced low-quality PU, which has a pungent and unpleasant leather smell and is prone to breakage. CONVERSE is also one of the few brands in the shoe category that does not contain the harmful chemical ingredient formaldehyde.
7. Shoe tongue
The words "ALL☆STAR" are sewn on the outside of the tongue of low-end Converse shoes. Different styles have the same color; high-end Converse shoes do not have such a LOGO. . Domestically produced Converse shoes will have English product descriptions printed on the inside of the tongue: "YEU CHENG (KUNSHAN) STORS CO. LED." etc.
8. Small anti-counterfeiting label (important)
Authentic shoes from CONVERSE stores will have a piece sewn on the innermost part of the shoe, that is, the innermost part of the tongue when turned up. The small anti-counterfeiting label is the CONVERSE logo or a star graphic.
9. Heel
"TM" is commonly seen in foreign trademarks. It is the abbreviation of the English "trade mark". The Chinese meaning of "trade mark" is "commercial mark", so "TM" means "trademark". Its function is to tell people that the graphic or text marked with it is the trademark of this product or service, not a name or an advertisement. "R" is the abbreviation of "register" in English. The Chinese meaning of "register" is "registration". Marking goods or services with this mark tells people that the graphics or words marked on it are not only trademarks, but also registered trademarks. Protected by national laws, no other individual or organization can use it without authorization.
Nowadays, it is difficult to identify high-quality imitations. The most effective way is to carefully look at the size label inside the shoe. The genuine product has "Converse" similar to the RMB watermark on it.
Most fake Converse products are fake. There is no small Converse logo in the tongue of the shoe!
