Teach you how to tell the authenticity of Nike shoes

1. The materials used in fake shoes will definitely be different from real shoes. This is very important because real shoes are sold. In addition to the cost of advertising and development of their own brand, the materials used in the shoes themselves are indeed very expensive. Fake shoes will never be imitated. Generally, developers of fake shoes will look for materials with the same texture as the real shoes. Materials with the same properties but much lower grades are used to imitate real shoes

1. Upper material: NIKE generally uses artificial leather for basketball shoes and superfiber for running shoes. Although PU is not real leather, the fiber density they contain is higher than that of real leather, its 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, artificial shoes will not be used. The way to identify shoes made of artificial leather or microfiber PU is to look at the glossiness of the material. Materials that are glossier 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 micro-injection, etc., are definitely made of TPU, while most fake shoes are made of PVC. The two are the same in appearance, but TPU The material cost is high, the softness and stretchability of the material are very good, but PVC is not the case. This material has no elasticity, softness is not good, and it is easy to break when worn in winter

3. Shoe midsole: Although In terms of the overall appearance of the midsole, the appearance of the simulated shoes and the real shoes are almost exactly the same, but there are still differences in the materials of the midsole. Although the materials of the midsole are all EVA secondary foam materials ( That is what we often call PHYLON) However, the hardness and softness of the burned midsole of holiday shoes and real shoes are definitely different. The PHYLON of real shoes will feel moderately soft and elastic when pressed with your fingers. Press hard with your fingernails. After finishing, PHYLON will naturally return to the state before it was pressed and will not leave fingernail marks for a long time. The PHYLON of fake shoes cannot reach the level of real shoes

4. Shoe outsole: Although the outsole is made of rubber material, the difference between real shoes and fake shoes can be seen in the material of the outsole. When the outsole is fired, real shoes will mix some chemical raw materials and recycled materials. Or the purpose of using carbon elements is to make the shoes more wear-resistant and anti-slip. Fake shoes will not take these into consideration when firing the outsole, so the degree of anti-slip and wear-resistant of the outsole of fake shoes is It is far worse than real shoes in terms of gloss. The outsole of fake shoes is brighter than the outsole of real shoes. Another tip is to listen to the sound and rub real shoes with the soles of your feet on the plastic floor or floor. There will be a very loud and crisp "squeaking" sound on the ground, but fake shoes will never make such a sound under normal circumstances

5. The function of the sole: What I want to say here is The problem of carbon fiber sheets and TPU support sheets. When buying some cutting-edge NIKE products, 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 of the cost of the carbon fiber sheets. It is indeed very high, so fake shoes will not use carbon fiber sheets. They will only find some materials similar to carbon fiber sheets to use. This will of course make the authenticity clear at a glance. Let’s talk about the TPU support sheet. Although the cost is not low, it is basically a big brand now. Imitation shoes will appear on all sports shoes. Of course, they will be copied. In fact, there is a trick to distinguish TPU. One is to look at its color. The TPU color of fake shoes is stained and opaque than the color of real shoes. The texture is also different. The TPU is softer than that of real shoes

2. There are also differences between real shoes and fake shoes in the shape of the shoes and the direction of some lines

Since the real shoes and the The pattern makers who make price shoes are different and the developers are different, so the lasts used for the shoes and the patterns they create are definitely different from the real shoes. Therefore, the shoe shape of the real shoes is different from the shoe shape of the fake shoes. There is definitely a difference and some lines in the shoes

Upward, there are many differences between real shoes and fake shoes due to the different versions created by the pattern maker

3. There are also many differences between genuine and fake shoes in some details of making shoes

1. The midsole of the shoe (PHYLON). If you carefully observe the midsole of your shoes, there will definitely be a few protruding small dots. Although the dots are very small, you will find several of these in a circle around the midsole. What are the dots for? Why are there these dots? Because the midsole needs to be burned in the mold. Before burning, the EVA is in a liquid state, so these liquid EVA must be introduced into the mold before it can be burned in the mold. The way to introduce 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 smaller the small bump left on the midsole after molding, so the developers I 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 a fairly high level of the factory. Factories that make fake shoes are generally up to 100%. It is not at this level, so the protruding dots on the PHYLON midsole of fake shoes must be much more obvious than the protruding dots on the PHYLON midsole of real shoes

2. The upper Stitching: NIKE and other big brands have very strict requirements for the stitching of shoes. The length of each stitch should be average and there should be no skipping. The workmanship requirements of fake shoes cannot be so strict

3. During the shoe molding process, the soles of the shoes are first machined and then put on the lasts to attach the soles, so the soles are also the last process in the shoe molding because they are processed by factories for big brands. The level of workers who apply the soles and the level of the factory are very high, so most of the shoes with the soles attached are neat and the glue will not climb onto the uppers, which makes people look very comfortable. If the soles are uneven or the glue creeps into the shoes, In this situation, big brands usually don't pass inspections and usually sell them to their employees as B products. Since the fake shoes are not made under their own brand, they will be sold with whatever the bottom is labeled.

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 materials suitable for the shoes to be imitated and then dye them, which will definitely cause some differences. There is a difference in the color of real shoes, so looking at the color is also a good way to distinguish between genuine and fake. I would also like to remind those friends who like to buy shoes online that some imitation shoes are super perverted and it is difficult to underestimate the authenticity with just a few pictures. You look at the real thing and slowly analyze it

I hope you are satisfied!
