Well I can see "AG" glowing on the size/item label so maybe thats another fraud measure that has been identified??
Has anyone tried running a UV light over a pair of superstars??

I have a feeling this whole UV thing was a thing that was "leaked" from adidas as a way to spot fakes.. However I'm not aware that any adidas shoes have a UV mark on the labels and so it really is just another way to spot fakes..

I don't own a pair of W5's but I do have the adicolor PR book and they have heel tags in the book.

UV lights and whatnot aside, id be inclined to say they're fake. How many pairs does the seller have, and also how many kermits and betty boops do they have? Smells like fakes to me!

Yeah mate they're fake. Sad
The heel tabs and the height difference between the back of the shoes gives them away.
You might have better luck chasing a pair of SS2 IS (Insertable Stripes?) from 2007,
the article number is 012173 they are pretty much the same shoe with only minor differences.
