Are there fake Nike products in the shopping mall? How to distinguish the real from the fake?

Nike is a world-famous large brand, very popular. Nike mainly produces some sports products, and the quality is also very satisfactory. However, not all Nikes on the market are genuine. So, are there fakes in Nike stores in shopping malls? How to distinguish the authenticity of Nike?

Nike's authorized offline stores are generally divided into the following three types: 1: Kicks Lounge, Kicks Lounge is also divided into L1 and L2 levels. L1 = LEVEL 1, it represents the highest level in Kicks Lounge, priority to enjoy the sale of limited shoes, higher-level goods and SNKRS Services (sneaker services), customized T-shirts, etc. There are relatively more L2-level stores, and some larger shopping malls and pedestrian streets have more stores of this level. 2: Beacon, Beacon stores are mainly focused on sports life, mainly selling a large number of sports items and a small number of limited products, and are divided into 350/550/750 according to their actual store area. This is what we often call Beacon350, Beacon550, Beacon750. 3: Ordinary stores, generally opened in shopping malls are ordinary stores and authorized stores in some small cities. If a physical store sells fakes, it will not only have to pay consumers three times the amount of the fakes, but also bear criminal liability if the amount involved is too high. Not only that, it may also be held accountable by Nike. I believe that no one would be stupid enough to invest millions or even tens of millions to take such a risk. Physical stores will not actively sell fakes. Moreover, the income of employees in physical stores authorized by Nike, Adidas and other sports brands is often linked to sales performance and has nothing to do with the cost of shoes. Simply put, for them, the commission for selling fake shoes and selling real shoes is the same. However, there are indeed individual cases where store clerks privately switch the shoes, but they are rare, and the consequences of such operations being discovered are also quite serious. Therefore, physical stores must still be the most reliable channel.

1. Look at the price. If a pair of Nike shoes has a price marked on its official website, but is sold at a very low price in other Taobao stores (half-price must be added), then you have reason to doubt its authenticity. Because in order to maintain the price of products on the existing market, the official will not deal with goods through too low a discount. This is not only Nike's rule, but also many brands. 2. Look at the LOGO. Although the real and fake Nike trademarks are very similar, you can still see some subtle differences by yourself. The real Nike trademark is round, delicate and smooth. The fake ones will be more or less deformed and some even add some special and imperceptible trademarks to mislead consumers. 3. Look at the barcode. If the barcode of your Nike shoes can be scanned by the mobile phone scanning software, then this pair of shoes must be fake, because the barcode of real Nike shoes cannot be scanned. 4. Look at the overall feeling. If the entire upper gives you the feeling of a replica, then it is no surprise that this pair of shoes is a replica. The overall feeling of genuine Nike shoes cannot be imitated. The upper is smooth, neat, and the color is even. There are no loose threads or jumpers, etc. These are all points to distinguish the authenticity. 5. Look at the shoe label. Looking at the shoe label is the best way to distinguish the authenticity of Nike, but it is not as simple as it sounds. You need to carefully check whether the spacing between the words is consistent, and whether the standard sizes of various countries are one-to-one. This method is difficult, but once you learn it, you can basically distinguish accurately.

The core of the brand lies in the perfect combination of athletes and technology, allowing the brand to achieve a higher breakthrough. 2. Converse: Converse was acquired by Nike in 2003. After the acquisition, Nike did not interfere with Converse's company operations and personnel structure. Later, Nike signed many player spokespersons for Converse. With the rise of the retro trend, Nike repositioned Converse, put Converse's AllStar and JackPurcell and other classic retro shoes in the casual fashion market, strengthened the brand's technological strength, and used a strong marketing team and sales network to make Converse glorious again and create many popular models. 3. Cole Haan: Cole Haan, founded in 1928, was acquired by Nike in 1988 and became a brand of Nike. Under Nike, it has gradually developed into a brand symbol of American fashion trends. From the beginning, it only made men's shoes, and gradually expanded to more aspects, integrating excellent craftsmanship and technology, and interpreting classics with fashion. 4. Bauer NIKE Hockey: Bauer NIKE Hockey is a brand created by Nike specifically for hockey players. Bauer NIKE Hockey was established in 1998. Bauer NIKE Hockey's shoes provide more athletes with comfortable and high-quality products.

First of all, we need to know some of the materials of Nike shoes, so that we can better clean and maintain them. As sports shoes, they are made by sewing and bonding, so when washing, you must not brush them roughly with a brush, let alone repeatedly rubbing the bonding position of the upper and the sole with a hard brush, which can easily cause the shoes to degummed. If the bevel of the Nike shoes you bought is cowhide and PU, it is not recommended to wash them with water. It is best to wipe them with water or dry clean them. After washing, you can use newspapers and other absorbent things to absorb excess water from the shoes, and then put the shoes in a cool and ventilated place. In addition, it should be noted that you must not expose the freshly washed shoes to the sun. It sounds good to say that it can sterilize, but exposure to the sun can easily cause the shoes to degummed and deform. If you want to destroy it and buy new ones, you might as well try it. When drying Nike shoes, you can stuff soft items such as newspapers into the shoes to maintain the shape of the shoes.
