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 are many differences between real shoes and fake shoes in different versions.

3. There are also many differences between real and fake shoes in the details of making shoes

1. Shoes The midsole (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, you will find a circle around the midsole. What are these dots?

Why are there these points? Because the midsole needs to be burned in the mold. The EVA is in a liquid state before burning, so the liquid EVA must be introduced into the mold before it 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 smaller the small bump left on the midsole after molding, so the developers definitely hope that The smaller the dots, the better 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 factory. Factories that make fake shoes generally cannot achieve this. Therefore, the raised dots on the PHYLON midsole of fake shoes must be much more obvious than the raised dots on the PHYLON midsole of real shoes

2. The stitching of the upper: NIKE The workmanship requirements of fake shoes cannot be as strict as the 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.

3 .In the process of shoe molding, the soles of the shoes are first machined and then put on the lasts to attach the soles. Therefore, the soles are also the last process in the shoe molding. Due to the level of workers in the factories that process big brands, the soles are The level of the factory is very high, so most of the shoes with fully attached soles are relatively neat, and the glue will not climb onto the uppers, which makes people look very comfortable. If the soles are unevenly attached or the glue crawls onto the uppers, such Big brands usually don't pass inspections and usually sell them to their employees as B products. However, fake shoes are not made under their own brand, so they will be sold with whatever the soles are marked on them.

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 the color to be somewhat different from the real shoes. There are differences, 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 love 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 also need to look at the real thing. Analyze slowly

The above is what I think is a better way to distinguish real and fake shoes. I hope it can help some friends not to be deceived again

P.S. Specially give away one of today's popular shoes How to identify the authenticity of "JAMES 2": (the fake ones are circled in green and the real ones are in red)

The fake uppers are brighter and whiter than the genuine ones, while the fake ones are clear and thick, while the genuine ones are hazy.
