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.

If you put the same amount of effort into an introduction as you did this post, someone might help you...

Lol @ Vox....

[Big Vern]

he wants your expertise so he can then be free of us boring sneakerheads.

[Fieldsy1971]

Out of interest......Just what did you think you we're buying.....And as a side question are you seeking therapy for your condition.....

Also in pics 14 and 15 they are different shoes.....Maybe just maybe this is why they look different.....

[Fritze]

Yeah ... introduction would have been good.

They're 80s (the name says it, made like in the 80s) and that's how they look.

[benji]

They are fake, you can send them to me for cataloguing. I will pay for postage of course. You can PM me on my user page.
Intro would be good too.

[Tifoso]

If you really want to see something crazy, line up the soles with a running shoe. Those TOTALLY don't match. At all.

(post a proper intro and you'll get some straight answers)

lol, oh my days

[Lurkzilla]

Will someone please put him out of his misery?

[einzigartig adidas]

Oi well an intro would be the most unorthodox thing to do here what I really don't get is that you say you're wearing Superstars from 1996 yet you can't tell what's real or not from 2009???

MY MIND IS BLOWN

[mr.pure]

They're real.
Fuck off!

[Lurkzilla]

Thank you!

I concur...
