For those with small feet this looks almost too good to be true, maybe those with a keener eye than me can spot something i've missed.

Cheap Berlins

Does anyone know how to sort this out? (sorry if this is the wrong place.. they've already gone beyond 'fresh')

       

The areas around the lace loops are properly bent into zigzags on the last two holes. Something to do with the way I was lacing them before, although It never happened with my ice creams..

Still.. any easy way to sort this out that doesnt involve me paying for shoe horns? Ive tried moving the tounge against the inward bits and leaving it but it doesnt do much good...

Well I would love a pair but cannot seem to find them ANYWHERE literally, just wondering if anybody knows anywhere which may have them. I am size 12US but a 13US would be ok Smile
I doubt I will get much luck posting here for obvious reasons but any help would be appreciated.

Hello folks! Very Happy

Recently I bought the W6 NYC on eBay. Yes, they are VERY VERY nice, but, I think they are fake. After 3 days, the seller was no longer on eBay, so, I couldn't do nothing, but just wait for the shoes. It took me 2 months. In the seller info, the location was UK, but the kicks came from China (and eBay should be alert of this type of problem. I payed 25€ for custom tax's, without the shipping). Fully happy, I open the box and I finally see the Superstars.

Then, I typed in Google 'fake adidas', to see if it was Originals, and I discovered this site.


I examinated the shoes, and it has:

Heel tags, but is really really tiny, u can hardly see.
The serial number is different in each shoe.
After use 1 week, the sole get up, in the left shoe (NYC tag).


Should I upload some images to you guys see?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english.

So I'm checking ebay everyday for a few adidas items I've had my eye on for a while now and it has amazed me how many fakes of adidas gear you will see churned out day after day and week after week on there.

I'm new to 'the game' when it comes to adidas limited edition ranges and adicolors etc, but I'm wondering if adidas is the most exploited and targeted brand on the market for frauds and mass-shifting of fake goods?

I wasn't sure where to put this and I hope it leads to some kind of discussion rather than being shot down without consideration, but in their own way do you think adidas lends itself to such piracy with such limitation on absolutely amazing stuff?

The originals are literally in limited supply of 5000!! - for the entire world, or even less!! - and snapped up by collectors immediately, but then adidas shut up shop and sell no more - yet demand is still there and leaves a window for unscrupulous suppliers willing to exploit those huge voids in the market.

There's a few pieces I have my eye on that may not show themselves in even the next year and in this way adidas must be losing millions a year by cutting their limited lines down to so few thousand a go. Those same millions must surely be going to Chinese and Hong Kong fraud warehouses? Don't adidas care about this?

Doesn't it lend itself to some having the logic of buying the fake rather than not having the product at all if they cannot find an original? After all, the design is the same as are the colour schemes and so on. With the templates adidas leave for these guys, it's a licence for them to print money.

What's your take on what adidas do - or do not do - in the market with regard to such a limited supply of their product? If they upped the limited editions from say, 5,000 to 50,000 or 500,000 would the fraudsters still have that window to exploit, or would that 'not so limited' item suddenly not be appealing to you?

I'm not condoning piracy, before anyone starts, what I'm asking you is what is your stance on what adidas does? Do you think it encourages the pirates given the explanation above of what limited supply does to a marketplace that still want the product no longer on offer?

Hi, I'm Diogo and i'm 15 years old. I live in Portugal. I typed 'adidas fake' in Google, and I discovered this forum, because I recently bought a W6 NYC on eBay, and I want it to know if they were genuine.

I think this forum is very useful, to people know if their Adi Dassler product is original Wink

I only have 2 Adidas: W5 II Superstar and W6 II NYC. But I will buy the Adidas G2 Peter Saville, in the future.

Thanks Very Happy
