1. The materials used in fake shoes will definitely be different from real shoes. This is very important because the reason why real shoes are so expensive is that they have to pay for their own brand advertising and development of shoes. The materials used are indeed very expensive. Fake shoes will never be imitated. Generally, developers of fake shoes will find materials that have the same texture and properties as those used in real shoes but are of much lower grade to serve as imitations. Shoe material

1. Upper material: NIKE generally uses artificial leather for basketball shoes and superfiber PU for running shoes. Although they are not genuine leather, the fiber density they contain is higher than genuine leather. The toughness and breathability are better than real leather and it is not easy to deform. Therefore, good artificial leather materials are more expensive and better than real leather. Generally, simulated shoes will not use high-quality artificial leather or microfiber PU to make shoes. The way to tell is to look at the material. The glossier materials are real shoes. You can also squeeze or stretch the upper leather with your hands to feel whether it is very tough and elastic.

2. Some processes of the upper such as hot stamping The material used for real shoes such as micro-injection is definitely TPU, while most fake shoes are made of PVC. The two are the same in appearance, but TPU is more expensive, softer, and has good stretchability. PVC This is not the case. This material has little elasticity and softness and is not easy to wear in winter and is prone to breakage.

3. Shoe midsole: Although the overall appearance of the midsole has the appearance of simulated shoes and real shoes. It is almost exactly the same, but there are still some differences in the material of the midsole. Although the material of the midsole is all EVA secondary foam material (which is what we often call PHYLON), the burned midsole is The hard and soft vacation shoes are definitely different from real shoes. The PHYLON of real shoes will feel moderately soft and elastic when pressed with your fingers. Press hard with your fingernails. After pressing, the PHYLON will naturally return to the state before pressing it. It will leave nail marks for a long time, and the PHYLON of fake shoes cannot reach the level of real shoes

4. Shoe outsole: Although the outsole is made of rubber material, the size of the shoe is The difference between real shoes and fake shoes can also be seen in the material of the sole. When the outsole of real shoes is fired, some chemical raw materials, recycled materials or carbon elements will be mixed in. The purpose of this is to make the shoes more wear-resistant. The anti-slip properties are more outstanding, and fake shoes do not take this into consideration when firing the outsole. Therefore, the anti-slip and wear-resistant degree of the outsole of fake shoes is far worse than that of real shoes, and the glossiness of fake shoes is much worse. The color of the outsole is brighter than that of real shoes. Another tip is to listen to the sound. When you wear real shoes on a plastic floor or floor and rub the ground with your forefoot, there will be a very loud and crisp "squeak" sound, while fake shoes Under normal circumstances there will never be such a sound

5. The function of the sole: Here I want to talk about the problem of carbon fiber sheets and TPU support sheets when buying some cutting-edge products from NIKE. Sometimes, most shoe lovers will look at the carbon fiber sheets of the shoes to determine whether the shoes are genuine or fake. This method can tell the authenticity of the shoes at a glance. Because the cost of carbon fiber sheets is indeed very high, fake shoes will not use carbon fiber sheets. Find some materials similar to carbon fiber sheets to use. Of course, the authenticity will be clear at a glance. Let’s talk about the TPU support sheet. Although the cost is not low, simulation shoes will appear on basically big-name sports shoes. Of course, they will be copied. There is also a trick to distinguishing TPU. One is to look at its color. The TPU of fake shoes is stained and opaque than the color of real shoes. The texture is also softer than the TPU of real shoes

2. Real shoes and fake shoes are also different in the shape of the shoes and the direction of some lines

Since the designers who make real shoes and the price shoes are different developers, the shoes are also different. The last used and the pattern made are definitely different from the real shoes, so the shoe shape of the real shoes is definitely different from the shoe shape of the fake shoes. Moreover, some of the line directions of the shoes are due to the pattern maker. There will be many differences between real shoes and fake shoes in different versions.

3. Some details of making shoes

There are also many differences between genuine and fake shoes

1. The midsole of the shoe (PHYLON). You can carefully observe the midsole of your shoes. There will definitely be a few protruding small dots, although the dots are very small. It is small, but you will find a few of these points around the midsole. What are these points for? Why are there these points? Because the midsole needs to be burned out in the mold, and the EVA is in a liquid state before burning. These liquid EVA must first be introduced into the mold before the mold can be burned in the mold. The method of introducing these liquid EVA into the mold is to introduce the liquid into the mold through a very thin introduction tube. The thinner the tube, the formed midsole The small bump left on the shoe will be smaller, so the developers definitely hope that the small dot will be as small as possible so as not to affect the beauty of the midsole of the shoe. But this does not mean that you want it to be small, it can be small. This requires the factory. Factories that make fake shoes generally cannot reach this level, so the protruding dots on the PHYLON midsole of fake shoes must be larger than the protruding dots on the PHYLON midsole of real shoes. Obviously much

2. The stitching of the upper: NIKE and other big brands have very strict requirements for the stitching of shoes, stipulating that the length of each stitch should be average and there should be no skipping. Fake shoes It is impossible for the workmanship requirements to reach such a strict level

3. In the process of shoe molding, the soles of the shoes are all processed first and then the lasts are put on and the soles are attached. The sole is also the last process in shoe molding. Since the factory that processes the soles for big brands has very high standards of workers and factories, most of the shoes with the soles attached are neat and the glue will not climb onto the uppers, which is very eye-catching. Comfortable. If the soles are uneven or the glue creeps onto the uppers, big brands usually won't inspect the shoes to pass the inspection. They will usually label them as B products and sell them to their own employees. Fake shoes are not made under their own brand. The soles will be sold in any shape.

4. There is also the color of the shoes. Fake shoes often have incorrect colors because the developers of fake shoes have to go to different places to find the right shoes. If the imitation shoes are made of materials and then dyed, there will definitely be some difference in color from the real shoes, so looking at the color is also a good way to identify the authenticity. I would also like to remind those friends who love to buy shoes online that some imitations are super abnormal. It is difficult to underestimate the authenticity of shoes based on just a few pictures. You need to look at the real thing and analyze it slowly

The above is what I think is a better way to distinguish between genuine and fake shoes. I hope it can be used by some friends. Help not to be deceived again

P.S. Special gift of today's popular shoes "JAMES 2" authenticity identification method: (Fake ones are circled in green, real ones are in red)

Fake shoes Compared with the genuine one, the surface looks brighter, while the fake one is clear and thick, while the genuine one is hazy
