Hard to say indeed if they're fake, but the way they're laced is not the way adidas do it...
Superstars are indeed super...

The thing that stuck out to me at first was the laces (like wildthing said) then I compared them to my other adicolors and it was ok. They were all like that.The inside lining felt too soft, and fluffy. also the markers in the shoe seam to be dull colored. are they supposed to be bright? The adicolor printing on the side of the shoe is a little fuzzy not much, but enough for me to notice they are not perfect. All that being said, I actually think they are probably real. I compared them side by side with my g5 and bl5s and they were pretty similar. The printing on tongue is pretty good though. It is bright silver and feels embossed. Maybe I just wasn't as impressed with the detail on these w5s. When the G and Bl 5s came I loved the denim and the bright color on the camo. The dull markers caught my eye and raised some flags. Ill post some more pics with brighter lighting and hopefully they are legit. Thanks for all the help!

Maybe some miscolouring and marking on the shoes could be caused by them not having a box?

what about the color of the markers in the inside should they be very bright? or a little dull/ washed out?

yeah the white is pretty dull, kind of off-white in some cases. I might get a chance to take photos tonight

I also recieved a fake pair of upper playground 35ths this month. The seller is refusing to fully refund me. Does anyone have any advice to ensure a full refund? Is ebay or paypal usually helpful?
