Описание: #nike #nikereact

Nike shoes are among the most popular products in the world, meaning they're a prime target for counterfeiters. If you aren't careful when making a purchase, you might wind up with a pair of fake sneakers instead of real ones. Thankfully, there are a number of tell-tale signs you can look for to prevent yourself from getting scammed.

Investigate Nike shoes sellers on the Internet. Be extremely cautious when purchasing Nike shoes on the Internet. Since you don't actually have the physical product in front of you, you can very easily be throwing money at a fake shoe. To avoid purchasing a fake:
Read website ratings and reviews before buying anything. Bad reviews is an obvious sign that the seller is not reliable or reputable. However, be careful because some sites will choose to only show “good” reviews. Do a third party search by inputting the seller in a third party search site and examining their reputation there instead of on the seller's site.
Ensure you are protected from fraud. Some online websites provide their customers with a return policy, even if the seller is a third party of the site. Having security that you will get your money back will protect you losing if you do happen to purchase fake Nike shoes.

Avoid sellers that substitute stock shoe photos for pictures of actual Nike shoes.[1] A stock shoe photo is more aesthetically appealing but it's not what you should be looking for when purchasing shoes online. A photo that is obviously shot within a home ensures that the pair actually exists and its condition can be matched with the photo.
You could try to contact the seller and ask them to take another photo of the shoe with an item that determines the date or authenticity of the photo. For example, ask the seller to take a photo of the shoe next to today's newspaper


Meanwhile, the box label should use a consistent font and spacing between the letters. In the image above, you'll notice that the spacing on the fake label is noticeably different than that of the authentic. When in doubt, it's best to compare it with a box you already own.

Visit the Nike website and browse product photos. Make sure to also check the color combinations available for the specific product you want.

A lot of counterfeiters sell popular Nike sneakers, but the colors and shades are very different from the originals.

5. Check the Uppers
Authentic Nike shoes boast quality design and production. Aside from the high-quality materials, Nike also uses advanced technology to craft shoes that are both stylish and comfortable.

Regardless of the style you purchase, your Nikes should look and feel like good quality shoes. Counterfeit Nikes might look authentic from afar but if you inspect them closely, there will be inconsistencies and flaws in the design. Watch out for uneven stitching, overlapping colors, and stiff uppers.

6. Check the Tongue
The tongue on the upper should display the brand name and the swoosh, sometimes with the style or model name. The inside part of the tongue should have a tag printed with information; including size, country of manufacture and the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) or serial number.

This unique alphanumeric code, typically 9 digits long, should match the number printed on the side of the box. Fake Nikes will usually display random numbers on the tag, but they won’t match the ones on the box.

7. Check the Weight
Fake Nikes do not just look different, they also feel different. Because cheap materials are used to make fake products, these counterfeiters have a hard time imitating the real feel of Nikes.

Most of the time, fakes will feel heavier and more rigid than authentic ones. Authentic Nike shoes should be lightweight so that you do not feel any dragging while moving around in them.

8. Check the Midsoles
The midsoles of authentic Nike training and running shoes are typically glued and not stitched
The midsoles of authentic Nike training and running shoes are typically glued and not stitched. They are made from ultralight advanced foam that provides arch support and cushioning.

On most new models, the brand name — along with the swoosh and sometimes the model name — are also printed on the insoles.

9. Check the Outsoles
The outsoles of authentic Nike shoes provide traction and support because they are made with high-grade rubber
The outsoles of authentic Nike shoes provide traction and support because they are made with high-grade rubber. Imitations have cheap rubber that feels very plasticky and heavy on the foot.

The ridges and patterns on the soles should be uniform and evenly spaced. Fakes typically have badly spaced patterns and stiff soles that are not flexible.

10. Inspect the Logo and Small Details
Other telltale signs of imitations can be seen on the small details of the shoe. The font on the prints should match and the font size should also be even.
