When it comes to distinguishing genuine and fake sneakers, most shoe lovers will first think of looking at the bar code on the back of the tongue, the shoe number, the shoe box, or the small LOGOs on the subtle details of the shoes. It may be useful to use this method to identify common fake shoes for common authentic shoes, but when it comes to extremely imitation shoes, these methods are far from being able to identify the flaws in fake shoes, because some counterfeiting factories do It's quite perverted. They have abundant funds and powerful pattern makers and developers. Their goal is to make 1:1 replicas of real shoes, so even if they have built-in air cushions, they will put them in completely. In fake shoes, wouldn’t it be easier to imitate the barcode, shoe number, shoe box, and subtle small LOGO if all of the above can be done? ! Then some shoe lovers should ask, isn’t it impossible to tell the difference if they are all the same? In fact, no matter how similar fake shoes are, there are still flaws. But don’t just look at the surface and where the LOGO is usually located. Real shoes sometimes have special LOGOs that are different from ordinary real shoes. You Can you just say he is fake? ! So this is how I will tell you how to distinguish real shoes from fake shoes. 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 not only that they have to pay for their own brand advertising and development costs, but also that the materials used in the shoes themselves are also real. They are very expensive, which is something that fake shoes will never imitate. Generally, the developers of fake shoes will find materials that have the same texture and properties as the real shoes, but are of a much lower grade to imitate the real shoes. 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, and their toughness and breathability are higher. It is better than real leather and is not easy to deform, so a good artificial leather material is more expensive than real leather. Generally, artificial 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 glossiness of the shoes. The ones with 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 cutting, micro-injection, etc., the materials used in real shoes are definitely TPU, while most fake shoes are made of PVC. The two are the same in appearance, but TPU The material cost is higher, the softness and stretchability of the material are very good, but this is not the case with PVC. This material has no elasticity, softness is not good, and it is easy to break when worn in winter. (3) Shoe midsole: Although the overall appearance of the midsole is almost the same as that of the real shoe, there is still a difference in the material of the midsole. Although they are all EVA secondary foam materials (that is, what we often call PHYLON), the hardness and softness of the burned midsoles of holiday shoes and real shoes are definitely different. If you press the PHYLON of real shoes with your fingers, you will feel it. The softness and hardness are moderate and very elastic. Press hard with your nails. After pressing, PHYLON will naturally return to the state before pressing. It will not leave any nail marks for a long time, while the PHYLON of fake shoes can reach Not as good as 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. Real shoes will be mixed in when the outsole is fired. Some chemical raw materials, recycled materials, or carbon elements are used to make the shoes more wear-resistant and anti-slip. Fake shoes do not take these into consideration when firing the outsole, so 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 the outsole of fake shoes is much better than that of real shoes. The color of the outsole of the shoe should be bright, and another tip is to listen to the sound. If you wear real shoes and rub the ground with the forefoot on the plastic floor or floor, there will be a very loud and crisp "squeak" sound, while fake shoes will make a loud and crisp "squeak" sound. Shoes will never make this sound under normal circumstances.

(5) Function of the sole: What I want to talk about here is the issue 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 the shoes. Whether it is true or false, 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. They will only find some materials similar to carbon fiber sheets to use. , which will of course make the truth and falsehood clear at a glance. Let’s talk about the TPU support piece. Although the cost is not low, it can be found on most big-name sports shoes now. Of course, the imitation shoes will be copied exactly as ordered. In fact, there are tricks to distinguish TPU. First, look at its color, fake shoes. The color of the TPU is smudged and opaque than that of real shoes, and the texture is 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 pattern makers and developers who make real shoes and price shoes are different, the lasts used for the shoes are also different. The head and the printed version 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, and some of the lines of the shoes are due to the pattern maker’s design. There will be many differences between real shoes and fake shoes depending on the version. 3. There are also many differences between true and false in some details of making shoes. (1) The midsole of the shoe (PHYLON). If you carefully observe the midsole of your shoe, there will definitely be a few protruding small dots. Although the dots are very small, you will find a few around the midsole. indivual. What are these points for? Why are there these points? ! Because the midsole needs to be fired in the mold, and the EVA is in a liquid state before burning, so the liquid EVA must be introduced into the mold before it can be fired in the mold. The method of introducing 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 small bump will be smaller. The smaller the dot, the better, so as not to affect the beauty of the midsole of the shoe. However, this does not mean that it can be small just because you want it to be small. This requires that the level of the factory must be quite high. Factories that make fake shoes generally cannot reach this level. To this level, 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) Stitching of shoe uppers: Big brands such as NIKE also have very strict requirements for the stitching of shoes. It is stipulated that the length of each stitch should be average, and there should be no skipping. The workmanship requirements of fake shoes are impossible. to such a strict level. (3) It is the sole attaching during the shoe molding process. The shoes are first machined and then put on the last to attach the sole. Therefore, the sole attaching is also the last process in the shoe molding. Since it is processed for big brands , the level of workers who apply the soles in the factory is very high, so the shoes with the soles attached are mostly neat, and the glue will not climb a lot on the uppers, which makes people look very comfortable. If the soles are uneven, , or the glue crawls onto the upper of the shoe, big brands usually do not pass the inspection, and usually label it as B product and sell it to their own employees. As for fake shoes, since they are not made under your own brand, they will be sold with whatever soles they look like. (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. It will definitely cause some color differences with real shoes, so looking at the color is also a good way to distinguish genuine and fake shoes. The above is what I think is a better way to distinguish genuine shoes from fake ones. I hope it can help some friends. Don’t continue. Fooled! Deceived.
