Hi there,
Newbie reporting for first fake-or-not session....

I was looking for Superstars Black-Black but found they're not for sale through Adidas channels in Europe. I found them on the US website but they wouldn't ship them to meSad
So I turned to Ebay, the site I have the best love/hate relationship with throughout the enitre internet....
I found that some people are selling Black-Black in Europe, so I bought these:

After receiving them today, my initial joy was fading fast. The shoes feel somewhat different than I'm used to (and I walk Superstars daily, so I should know). I thought that since all my other superstars are so worn-in, it's probably just that.
But still... The box and the shoes say they're made in India; do they even make these in India??

Also, the shell toe is looking a bit weird. It's pretty shiny and it looks like it doesn't fit very well. The 'xxx' part of the shell doesn't go all they way up into the laces as it does for my other Superstars and the fit isn't snug where it's stitched at the sole:

just for reference; here's another pair of Superstars: (as if you guys don't know what Superstars look like LOL) these have no space at all between the lower front of the shell and the tip of the sole.

I've got some more minor leads, I'm just full of doubt Confused

I went to the local Adidas shop (that has them all except Black/Black Mad ) and had a look; maybe my worn-in pairs of Superstars are not the best reference.
What did I find?
-Some pairs in the shop showed pretty much all of the things I mention above. (Great, still learned nothing...)
-None are made in India.
This leaves questions; are these just monday-morning pairs that aren't put together as neat as some others? Are some Superstars made in India (maybe those for US market since Black/Black is only for sale officially there)??

Who can help?

I'll spare you the rest of the pics since this is a pretty lon post already Wink

Thanks in advance!

hi just joined and like to say hello Cool

Errrr.... I can do better than that!

Hi, I'm Koen aka 2Meter an I live in The Netherlands (or Holland as many like to call it). Born and raised in the south, 31 yo and stand 2 meters tall.
I have a minor Adidas fetish, probably nothing compared to others around hereSurprised. I keep a shelf of Firebird suits in all kinds of colours and several pairs of the almighty Superstars...

I've been surfin' around in search for some nice gear and probably ended up with some fake Superstars so I'd like to consult your knowledge but also contribute to it by sharing my experience(s).

Well, that's it for now.
Thank all of you in advance!

Are you, or have you been, a student at Queen Mary University of London?

I have applied for a programme and received an unconditional offer. However, I am unsure whether I should receive an official letter from the university stating that I have been accepted on the programme for which I applied.

I have been e-mailing the admissions team and the international office, but they're not very fast at replying.

What's up guys ?!
This is my first post, so i am little excited because of my english which is no so good. But i am here to share my love for the shoe.
SO i have found a pair of Adidas superstar consortium 35th anniversary NEIGHBOUHODD ( yes the one with the skull ) and the price was a little too lower than i expected.
SO plizz, adidas lovers, try to help me and protect the Adidas brand.

Here my informations about the deal:
-the seller is a french woman, who bought the shoe on internet ( i know that not good ) for a birthday, but unfortunatly it was to small.
-She know nothing about the shoe, and also the price of it ( she sells this shoe on very wicked site ).
-So it is not his intention to "fuck" me ( we speak like this in france )

Here the photos that i have:

Thanks ( before something ) and hope we will find the truth

It's an XL.
