Today I received my brand new Superstar 2 IS Adicolors.... great I think... best check if they are fake. And damn I think they are.
They really look genuine ....even down to the box and paper in it.... but there's a the tag on the heel. Argh. If they are fake peach_sports on ebay is due an ass whuppin.

One of your links worked before. Yes they are fakes I'm afraid, these fake adicolors have been mentioned on here before and I believe a lot of reputable sellers have been stung by them. I seem to remember Mr Shoeshotta mentioning something about it? Peach Sport are usually sound as far as I know so I'd let them know as soon as, don't think they'd knowingly sell fakes?

I take it that it's the tags that are a giveaway. I'll go back to them and let them know. What a bastard.

Yep fella, it's the heel clits that give it away every time.

I've sent a mail asking for a refund including all postage and return costs. I'll let you guys know what the response is.
Cheers for the help. Pissed off that I got fakes but glad I found out.

It might be worth you having a read of the forum's fake spotting guide, the heel clits are a real giveaway on any superstar made during or after the 35th anniversary.

Cheers. I did have a look and suspected as soon as I saw that on them. I spose I was hoping someone would say "oh no.. that model has them" lol. Wishful thinking.

Yeh peach_sports is a legit seller and wouldn't knowingly sell fakes. Lots of SSDB members have bought supes from him without any problems, including myself. He has a huge stock of shoes and isn't really an expert in spotting fakes so things like this might happen. From what i've heard, he's usually very co-operative when it comes to sorting out issues with fakes and getting refunds. And as mentioned, those fakes ended up to many legit sellers' stock at the time.

Ok, well, that's good to know. I'll go easy on him lol.

It would be good if you can make sure he complains to the guy who supplied them!

Ah, good shout. I'll try and remember to get that in on my next correspondence with him. Hope he gets his money back if he's been fucked over too.

Well, so far they've agreed to refund the item and postage both ways... was apologetic about the whole thing and is contacting Adidas. I'll keep this updated with progres..

Peach Sport was it?
I will mention this to Phil when he moves his stock to a new location.
I did tell him we are very stringent on here when it comes to fakes.
In his defence he told me that doesn't know much about the intricacies of soops he just sells them.
