Fake Vin Supas? -

Are these fake?
The reason I ask is that I noticed that it doesn't say "Superstar" on the side under "Adidas". I don't know much about Vins, but it seems a bit off.
As always, any help would be appreciated.

That is weird. I know one of the SSDB-members has these vins? Grimmy maybe? You can also check UK-eBay. I've seen these vins on there. All the vins I have do have "Superstar" under "Adidas".

Hope they are genuine, they are really nice. Good luck Doku.

Thanks Bluemoon.
I have a few vins and all say "Superstar". I haven't seen these elsewhere, so I can't say if it's only for this model.

Thanks Lurky! Huge help on that one. Clearly it says "Superstar" on the side. Too bad. I liked those. I'll PM the guy to let him know. I checked his other auctions and they seem legit.

I must say those are the ugliest vins I have ever seen.

Not quite, Robert, but close!

I was more curious about the lack of the "Superstar" text than the style. I've seen about 3 Vins on Yahoo Auction Japan without the text printed on them.

Pretty sure adidas cant use the superstar name in Japan due to copyrights, so the superstar bit might have been dropped for the Japanese market.

Is that true? Weird. Let me dig into this a bit more. I'll ask around. All my Vins were bought off of auction or Rakuten, so I can say where their original sell points were. The mystery is afoot!

Might be wrong, but I'm sure this came up on one of the 35ths an age ago.

I think the LQ model (not sure) actually had the tongue changed for the Japan release as well.
