Bian Xiao is also a fan of Shell Head. Recently, Bian Xiao bought a pair of shell-headed shoes with the article number G62845 in an online shop, and the seller claimed that they were genuine. So I invited Zhao, a fake expert, to prove it.
Zhao Xin introduced that the best-selling brand in Adidas clover series is the "superstar" in the "shell head", and online and offline imitations are also the most. The price of imitations ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. Many colors that Adidas has never produced are also popular under the trademark of Adidas. After careful comparison, Zhao Xin said that the G62845 shell shoes purchased were not genuine in the seller's mouth, but imitations.
Taking G62845 as an example, Zhao Xin explained several skills of "shell head" to distinguish between true and false.
Authentic: 860
When you smell the soles carefully, there is almost no taste, which is slightly heavier than imitation. The toe color of the shoe body is consistent, and the shoe shape is smooth. Wear it for a long time, and the leather surface of the shoe body will have natural wrinkles.
There is a pungent rubber smell after opening the shoe box, which is slightly lighter than the genuine one. The color of the toe cap of the shoe body is inconsistent, the shoe shape is smooth, and the surface is wrinkled and stiff after long wear.
