Fake: Black Etched - jackie_pants - 04-09-06

Poor poor fakes from eBay UK. Bought, and immediately returned for refund by me.

[Image: glue.jpg]
*above* Excess glue on leather upper and lower rubber bit. My originals have virtually no glue on leather upper, and very few discreet splashes on lower rubber bit. Uneven print / finish on laces holes.

Lots of extra glue for free! Uneven finsh on logos. Stitching visible on uppermost part (not visible on my originals). That uneven blip just below the 'i' + 'd' is there.

Whoever printed the tongues must have just stubbed out a phat one. They've missed by a mil or two on the "superstar" and "anniversary". The tiny German text isn't printed clearly, unlike originals.

Some lovely stitching! (This took the piss). The 3stripe's edges didn't seem as sharp as originals.

Two-tone box... no Adidas stickers on the side... box fell apart due to crap glue...

Is this spelt correctlyy?

The usual hard and shiny materials were used on the shoe, when they should have been soft and supple. They even had that fake-shoe smell.
Also, the insole didn't have a heel arch support. Not sure if they all have them but my originals do.

Why did you buy if you knew they were fakes?

I didn't know they were fakes... The seller's feedback seemed pretty good... The price was OK... etc...

Here's the ebay item: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200015493556
