An easy way to spot fake superstars.... i guess... -

Check out these pics....
Since i only own the superstar new york out of the 3 pictures....
Who has the ian browns and bad boys and are confident that your's is 100% authentic...
See if this flaw exists...
From my superstar new yorks... the little bulge (circled) is absent...
The real deal has nicely cut out curves... no bulges... not even a little...
I've checked with my other fakes and it seems that all fakes carry the flaw...
And the more obvious colour that run out of line is 100% absent too...
Anyone has the same pair of superstars in both authentic and fake form can reconfirm...
Of course this only applies to superstar with the same heel design... not consortiums...
Maybe some specialists here can confirm my findings?

Here's more...

Currently, this is biggest most obvious giveaway i've noticed in fakes...
Thanks for looking.

This doesn't neccessarily hold water Hanz.
I know I've got pairs of Superstars that do have that little tag on the heel.
I'll dig 'em out and take a pic.

You get that on most shoes with heels like that. its part of the styling/method of eing cut.

I must admit I'm with Hanz on this one, I don't think any of my SS have that little tag, and plenty of the fakes on eBay do. Sure, it's not bulletproof, but it's definitely worth looking out for IMO.

Yeah bobby, i've check that thread but there's no pictures....
Maybe now ppl have a clear idea of what we're taking about....
I've checked all my superstars including those belonging to my sister and friends, they all don't have the imperfections...
Another one of my friend own some fake stan smiths and super ape skate and they have that little bulge i'm talking about.
I'll take all the pictures later and post them up....
Mr. Pure, maybe you should check on yours fast.... who knows?

No chance of it matey.
I'm wearing a pair of Superstar Bluebirds and they have that little bulge but I know they are real.

back to the old drawing board then....

Hey Mr Pure,
I was just at the adidas store earlier today,
I inspected every single superstar in the store and the flaw that i mentioned was not there.
BUT... there was the flaw on the campus model...
ahhh... the hell... this is starting to get on my nerves ya know?
