Hi guys, I don't know if anyone has posted about this before but i haven't seen it so thought it might be worth mentioning. I was watching watchdog tonight because it had an item on fake goods on Ebay and they mentioned fake adidas. They had a guy from adidas look at a pair of Y3s and he said he could instantly tell that they were fakes because one of the numbers on the ID tag was the same. I checked out all my pairs that i know to be genuine and the last number that on the label was different on each shoe. Ie on a pair of stan smiths the number is 'kjjmdlhj00008' on the left shoe and 'kjjmdlhj00135' on the right. On a pair of G5 camos it was 'kv4cdh1c00009' and 'kv4cdh1c00016' same was true of my G4 Kermits and on some running shoes i've got. Does anyone know if this is true of all adidas and has anyone got any fakes which have the same number on each tag, or even genuine ones with the same number for that matter. If this holds up it could be a real easy way to check if they are right.

Hope this is useful stuff.

Cheers Misty.
That was probably the bloke you can send your trainers too for ?25 and he sends them back with a certificate of realityness.

Looks like the red ones and a blue pair I have bought recently are fake then.
I suspected as much with the reds and I was allready certain with the blues.
Sure enough my FakePatrols have the same number at the end of each label.
This whole thing is not hard to replicate though and the fakers have the information now.
