If it is clothes, look for the tag. If there is no tag, look for the wash label. Clothes or accessories from 2008 including 2008 all have a style number. The style number is the first three digits of the 10 digits and the fourth letter W. M, U, K go to one of these, w is women's model, m is men's model, u is unisex, k is children's clothing
Every pair of Converse's officially produced shoes is recorded in the database , that is to say, take the barcode on the shoe tag or shoe box to the Converse counter and swipe it. The official data of the shoe will be displayed immediately (including year, production quarter, style, color, number, and shoe style).
PS: The barcodes of shoes produced in 2008 are folded in half. This method of identification has the highest recognition rate and is the most accurate. However, some friends are too embarrassed to go to the counter to scan the barcodes. It is recommended to get a pair of shoes. Go to the counter to find a way to swipe the tag!
If you think this method is inconvenient, we can take a look at the identification method: (As long as there is any discrepancy, it will be regarded as an imitation!)
1. Soles
p>1. Sole template
All Converse shoes in 2008 have grooves. If there are no grooves, they are definitely not authentic. But our opinion is that those with grooves may not be genuine. After all, a groove is just a template problem, and there is no technical problem. For the sole, our recommended method of identification is to look at the amount of glue!
2. Glue content
The glue content of our genuine Converse shoes is 51%. Many sellers on the Internet say it is more than 60%, more than 80%, this is all It’s a lack of common sense! Since there is such a high glue content, we have three points to distinguish:
A: Use a nail clipper on the soles of the shoes. The authentic ones will never turn white! Genuine products will have some scratch marks. Just rub them with your fingers and the scratch marks will disappear. This is a sign of wear resistance. Simulation shoes cannot do this. This is technical content. The other 51% of the glue content is a huge investment for simulation products!
B: The glue content is a very important factor in determining the comfort of the soles. Genuine shoes are very comfortable and fit well, but imitation ones cannot!
Friendly reminder: Wearing flat shoes for the first time will feel a little awkward, but it will not cause discomfort and make walking difficult!
C: The genuine product feels heavy in your hand!
2. Shoe upper:
This point is easily overlooked by imitation products, which is the purchase of shoe upper fabric. After all, the simulation is a simulation, but the image is not similar to God.
If it is rough to the touch, it is definitely not authentic! In addition, the workmanship of authentic stitches is very particular. The width of the stitches on authentic shoes is very natural!
3. Shoelaces
Shoelaces are more likely to be ignored, because there is no anti-counterfeiting on the shoelaces, and we cannot see the quality problems. Regarding this, we are Look at it this way: the cotton content of genuine shoelaces is very high. You can untie the shoelaces of genuine shoes. After they are naturally straightened, they can be stretched again. When they are stretched to the longest, as soon as we relax, the shoes The belt will shrink automatically!
4. Shoe uppers
1. Genuine shoes have braces, the cost of braces is relatively high, braces can effectively prevent degumming
2. The logo on the back of the heel is concave and convex, and it fits the upper of the shoe very well. This is due to the precision of the shoe machine!
5. Shoe boxes
1. Genuine shoe boxes are very hard and have good printing and are not easy to fade. Simulations usually don't pay attention to details, and the color of the shoe box often fades easily!
2. The more important thing is that the labels on the shoe boxes and tags can be swiped at the counter!
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 the product name of the shoe. , item number, color and US size; the other is printed with the unified item number, national unified price, model, material, size (US size, European size, Chinese size), computer barcode, and the sticker 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 genuine products from specialty stores that have undergone strict inspection must have a translucent seal inside Moisture-proof paper (copy paper) with "CONVERSE" written 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.

There is a raised "CONVERSE ☆ ALL STAR" LOGO mark in the middle of the sole, and next to the logo Anti-counterfeiting six-pointed star* (pictured), with the R registered trademark next to the star. The bottom is the shoe size.
If you buy Converse canvas shoes online, it is best not to buy them. Most of them are not genuine or second-hand
