The difference between genuine and fake products:

1. Appearance:

Authentic products should have original boxes, tags, small labels, desiccant, and wrapping paper.

The new box in 2005 is black, with the word CONVERSE printed on the desiccant and wrapping paper, and Yusheng (Kunshan) Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. printed on the tag; the box in 2004 or before is large. In red or dark blue, CONVERSE is not printed on the desiccant and packaging paper, but Guangzhou Baoyuan Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. is printed on the tag.

The models before 2004 had a small five-pointed star next to the logo in the middle of the sole, while the new model in 2005 has a six-pointed star* (like the rice key on the keyboard).

The small mark refers to a one centimeter square piece of rubber on the heel of the shoe tongue, with CONVERSE's circular LOGO or blue five-pointed star printed on it, which varies in different years.

The product description under the tongue has the words "yusheng(kunshan)sports co.,ltd." in English.

Because the tags and desiccant of the shoes in stock have been lost during transportation and inspection, the original packaging may be tattered or simply packed in other styles of boxes.

2. Quality:

The genuine product uses the canvas with the highest density and the best texture, double-sided strips, virgin rubber and fine mesh, which is durable. The materials used in the fakes are obviously different. The soles are harder, lighter and less elastic than the genuine ones. They will break after being worn for a while. The rubber pads inside the heels are also of poor quality and are easily deformed.

3. Price:

As the saying goes: you get what you pay for. The prices of genuine products are all national unified prices designated by the company; of course, some individual specialty stores will appropriately lower their prices to adapt to the market in order to compete with large specialty stores, but this price reduction is based on a reasonable basis, unlike Super low prices on fake shoes. If the price of a new or old best-selling model is too low, it should be a fake, unless the boss is not a businessman but a philanthropist who imitated Lei Feng.

In short, the concept of authenticity is not only about quality, but also includes price, sales, brand and other aspects.

MIZUNO

There are many ways to identify the authenticity of NIKE. I will also contribute my simple understanding of the authenticity of Mizuno (MIZUNO).

Starting from the autumn and winter of 1.04, Mizuno’s trademarks, plastic bags, tags, etc. have all been replaced with new versions. The trademark used to be a blue bird on a white background, but now it is a black bird on a gray background. The sign was originally blue, but now it is gray. In addition, the packaging bag has also changed from the original white bird to a black bird. There is usually a blue triangle stamp on the certificate.

2. The general sizes of Mizuno’s trademark for domestic sales are S, M, L, and 2XL. I saw some imitation products online and it was difficult to identify them, but I found that the trademark turned out to be XXL, which Mizuno never uses for domestic sales. XL for export is replaced by O.

3. Open the clothes and you can see the washing label in the side seam. Look carefully, you can see that there are numbers and English letters where the side seam and the washing label are sewn together. Please put Compare this string of characters with the item number on your listing, and you will find that they are consistent. This imitation doesn't seem to be that thorough.

The above is a relatively simple method to identify the authenticity of Mizuno

Jersey identification

There are more and more imitation NBA basketball jerseys on the market now. Counterfeiting The degree can be described as varied. So among the many fake NBA jerseys, how do you identify the authenticity at a glance? Please listen to me!

1. First look at the NBA logo. This logo is computer embroidered and the workmanship is very fine. But often counterfeit products are full of loopholes. Judging from the shape, the embroidery looks a bit outrageous, and is thin and long and not full at all. The number of stitches when embroidering is also much less than the original. Furthermore, the three small English characters of "NBA" in the lower left corner are also zigzag, ranging from large to small. It stands to reason that they can be made very neat, but they just don't want to spend so much on it, which shows that the workmanship is quite rough. The logo on the genuine jersey is even and full, and the needles are arranged very densely during embroidery. You can say that you have a general understanding of this now. Another thing is that some imitation NBA jersey logos simply do not embroider the three English words NBA in the lower left corner, or use other English words instead, such as HW, NBV, etc. We can tell this at a glance It can be classified as a fake.

(If the boss says this is an authentic NBA product when selling it)

2. Look at the workmanship of the embroidered numbers and names on the jerseys. The workmanship of the fake jerseys is definitely not as fine as the genuine ones. The reason is that the production of fake jerseys only focuses on quantity but not quality, but genuine products require not only quantity but also quality. Because they are all exported abroad, foreigners attach great importance to quality. Otherwise, there will be no genuine inventory in the domestic market. Most of them are caused by customers canceling orders or the quality is not up to standard. Of course, it is difficult to tell the authenticity from the workmanship. After all, it requires experience. We sometimes see hair on the embroidered numbers on real NBA stars. This is inevitable, even if the authentic ones are worn too much. In short, even if the fake jersey is brand new, the stitches may be skipped during embroidery, the embroidery may not be in place, or the embroidery may be seriously offset. If you pay more attention when buying jerseys, you will find it!

3. In the domestic market, Reebok's processing plants generally only produce jerseys. It is rare to make jerseys and shorts. If someone sells them, they are a complete set. Then you have to pay attention to the authenticity. Of course, having said that, this is not absolute.

4. The front piece of authentic fan jerseys is generally shorter than the back piece. And the fan version of the jersey will have the Reebok logo under the NBA logo.

Haha, the above are my little opinions, please criticize and correct me if I am wrong!!!

5. There are also differences in the backing paper when computer embroidering genuine jerseys, because foreigners Very concerned about this. They will require players' names and numbers to be computer-embroidered using black backing paper so that the reverse side is more beautiful. For the NBA logo and Reebok logo, white lining paper is generally required. But fake jerseys always use white lining paper regardless of numbers or logos. They won't care so much and can distinguish them so clearly. Therefore, embroidered backing paper is also an important step when identifying authenticity.
