Original or counterfeit?

Be careful, don't buy fakes

Here are a few reasons why you should be cautious when buying sneakers and how to spot fakes:

Material quality

Fake sneakers are often made from cheap and low-quality materials that may not be durable or comfortable like the originals. You might notice poor craftsmanship, loose threads, or irregular cuts.

Price

An unreasonably low price can be an indicator of a counterfeit product. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is a fake. Original sneakers from reputable brands usually have a higher price that reflects the quality and authenticity of the product.

Where to buy

Buying sneakers from unverified sellers on social media, online marketplaces (Facebook Marketplace, Bazoš, or even VINTED...) or even other illegitimate websites can increase the risk of falling victim to scams. It's always better to buy from trusted and verified sellers or directly from the official brand stores.

Design details

Attention to design details, such as stitching, printing, colors, and materials, can help identify fake sneakers. Original products usually have precise craftsmanship and high attention to detail.

So, invest in authentic sneakers instead. They will last you longer and ultimately save you money.
