[adrive]

Hi all. I am wearing superstars from '96. I bougth the most of them in brick and mortar adidas stores. But now I decide to buy ones from ebay, from seller with 99.99% (more than 4000) positive feedback , and few negative complains about the wrong size. Maybe in my later post I will point to the seller.

Yesterday I recieved a box with a pair of them and I started to be in doubt if they are fakes or not. Then I started to search how to recognize reals from the fakes. Howerver I am still in doubts, so plese, help me to identify if they are fakes or not. I took some detailed pictures, but if it will be necessary, please ask for more pictures or picture of a box. So here are the pictures:


The tongue is like some kind of a foam, no leather on it.



The lining is not leather or textile like on previous superstars i had.

As written linng is synthetic, not leather.


Look at the cut on the outsole in the place where the wamp meets the outsole and the toe. (I don't know, if it matters).

Again, I am not sure, if it matters, but I never had REGISTERED around the logos on the shoe counter. There appears twice.



Notice a little notch in the green part under the stitchnig. Got home two pairs and that part is straight. Also notice quite a big padding in the stitching of the white stripe. On both originals I have no paddings there.

I aligned both outsoles - the original I had at home and the new ones I recieve. They are definitely different, but I do not know if it is ok. However the new ones didn't fit well on my feet and are uncomfortable.

The serial number seems to be fine, but what is this APE 779001?




Thank you.
