The method of identifying the real and fake Converse was founded in 1908 by Moore Converse in the United States in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Conver All SATAR was born. In 1917, the ALL START canvas shoes were officially launched, and with their uninhibited design, they became an instant hit all over the world.

It became a famous trademark in 1923 with the autograph of Chvck Taylor, a basketball star with athletic talent and eloquence. The ALL START canvas shoes, which are retro, popular and environmentally friendly, are the spiritual symbol of American culture. In the Chinese market, there are now three series of All Starchuck Taylor (all-star classic canvas shoes), Jack Purcell (open smile) and Pro Star (classic canvas shoes).

Due to the high popularity of Converse, the sales quality is very good, and there are a large number of counterfeit imitation products on the market, so how to distinguish the authenticity of the product? Here are some practical ways to do it. 1) Sole material identification method Practical index effective discrimination rate 80% ease of operation 80% No matter how good the fake shoes are, even if the packaging, edging, and workmanship are imitated in place.

There will always be a difference in the materials used, because the reason why fake shoes are cheap is because of the saving of materials. Those who are familiar with the shoe industry know that the cost of a pair of shoes is mainly in the sole. Therefore, the sole of the fake shoe will be very different from the ** shoe.

Abrasion resistance, softness, gloss, etc.

How does Converse distinguish the real from the fake, teach you 3 tricks.

The authenticity of Converse can be discerned by smelling and seeming. On the one hand, there is a clear difference between the smell of real shoes and the smell of fake shoes. On the other hand, authenticity is distinguished by observing the whole and details of the shoe (shoe label, shoe box, root mark, sole, toe cap, tongue, small label, moisture-proof paper, desiccant, hang tag, etc.).

1. Smell: Canvas shoes are different from other shoes. They bring a nice canvas smell. "One bite, refresh, suck twice, live longer", so you can use it to make a preliminary identification of the quality of your shoes.

2. Look: 1) Look at the whole.

When you first see the shoes** or the actual shoes, and you feel that the shoes are wrong, then please believe your first feeling, it is fake.

No matter how a real shoe is presented in front of your eyes, it is always perfect and beautiful.

4) Follow the label after looking at the details.

The heel mark needs to be seen from the font, color, and three-dimensionality as a whole.

The font is neat, the color is not gray, and the shoe label is close to the heel of the shoe. The stereo sound is strong and has curves. It will not be fixed vertically to the heel like the red line box in **. The new heel, like the pentagram, is indistinguishable.

5) Look at the details of the sole.

The sole with enough glue will be light brown, and the amount of glue that does not meet the standard will not be light brown.

In addition, there are four security points on the sole. Of course, they are not only anti-counterfeiting points, but also control points for the toe of workers. The inner packaging corresponds to the second security point on the inside, and the outer packaging corresponds to the first security point on the outside.

6) Look at the details of the toe cap.

In the toe section, the strips are not aligned with the linen trim.

7) Look at the details of the tongue:

The low-end Converse shoes have the word (all star) on the outside of the tongue, and different styles have the same color; The High Gang does not have such a logo. Domestic Converse shoes will be printed with an English product description on the inside of the tongue: (yeucheng (kunshan).

words, etc. 8) Anti-counterfeiting small label:

Converse's store shoes will be located in the innermost part of the shoe, the innermost part of the tongue, with a small security tag, the Converse logo or star graphic, sewn on.

9) Tags: Converse will change different tags from time to time. These tags will use different paper and different techniques to leave those counterfeiters behind. In 2005, the label passed a matte film (waxy smooth and smooth) and basically no fine imitations were used; In 2006, the label was embossed with a more advanced embossing effect.

There is a big difference between Converse and fake Converse in terms of quality, in terms of quality.

Appearance: **There should be the original box, label, founder label, desiccant and wrapping paper In 2005, the new box is black, the desiccant and wrapping paper are printed with the word converse, and the label is printed with Yusheng (Kunshan) sporting goods ****, in 2004 or before, the box is bright red or dark blue, there is no converse printing on the desiccant and wrapping paper, and the label is printed by Guangzhou Baoyuan Industry and Trade ****.

Before 2004, there was a small five-pointed star next to the logo in the middle of the sole, and in 2005, the ** style was a six-pointed star* (just like the meter key on the keyboard) There is no mark next to the logo in the middle of the sole of the Pro Star's shoes, don't mistake the real shoes of the Prostar for fake shoes. "Declaration Star" does not have such a logo, please note! Founder's listing refers to the listing of the COS founder, all stars and one star have it, and the others don't!

Because labels and desiccant are lost during the back and forth handling and inspection, the original packaging may be very poor, or simply packaged in a different style of box.

Quality: **Made of canvas with the best weight density and texture, double-sided tape, primary rubber and fine mesh, durable, these fake materials are obviously different, the sole is harder and lighter than the real one, it has no elasticity, after wearing it for a while, it will break the sole, the rubber pad inside the heel is not of good quality and can be easily deformed.

Converse** identification on a big point to look at the sole, Converse's shoes are made of enough materials, a pair of **Converse shoes, the body will be heavier, the weight lies in the sole, even if it is a pair of canvas shoes, there is considerable weight, Converse's sole is made of disposable virgin rubber, the sole is strong and elastic, even if it is worn for a long time, the sole is not easy to wear, the use of natural environmental protection glue paste, so long-term wear or incorrect wear may appear to open the glue, the fake material is obviously different, the sole is harder and lighter, no elasticity, After wearing it for a while, the bottom will break, and the rubber pad inside the shoe is of poor quality, easy to deform, smelly, and easy to open the glue. The inner "converse" logo of the shoes is a basket color or dark blue color, the pigment is relatively firm, and the hand can not easily scrape off, and the counterfeit product is easy to fall off, so you can see this logo in the Converse identification.

**: As the saying goes: a** is equal to a purchase, ** is the national unity designated by the company**, of course, in order to compete with large stores, some stores will adapt to the market by appropriately lowering **.

The authenticity of Converse can be distinguished by smell and appearance. On the one hand, the smell, the smell of real shoes and the smell of fake shoes are very different. On the other hand, authenticity is determined by observing the whole and details of the shoe (shoes, shoe box, soles, soles, toes, tongues, small labels, moisture-proof paper, desiccant, quality labels, etc.).

1. Smell: Canvas shoes are different from other shoes. They bring a good canvas smell that you can use to check the quality of your shoes first.

2. Look: 1) Look at the whole.

First look at the shoes or shoes, feel that the shoes are not correct, believe the first feeling, it is fake.

Shingo, no matter how it is presented in front of you, he is always perfect and beautiful.

4) After confirming the details, follow the standard.

After that, it's the whole content, which needs to be displayed from the fonts, colors, and stereo.

The font is nice, the color is not gray, and the shoe label is close to the heel of the shoe. The stereo sound is powerful and curved. Like the red wireframe in the diagram, it is not vertically fixed to the heel. The new heel is the same as the Five Star, but there is no difference.

5) View details.

The sole with sufficient adhesive will be light brown, and the adhesive dose that does not meet the standard will not be light brown.

In addition, there are four safety points on the sole. Of course, they are not only the points of forgery, but also the points of management of the workers' toes. The inner packaging corresponds to the second internal security point, and the outer packaging corresponds to the first external security point.

**Converse can distinguish the authenticity by observing the shoe label, shoe box, root label, sole, toe cap, tongue, small label, moisture-proof paper, desiccant, tag, etc.

Distinguishing the authenticity of Converse mainly depends on identification, like poison get stickers can be identified, and I am also a Converse appraiser, and there is no charge for voluntary identification.

Look at the workmanship and shoe type of the shoes, ** the workmanship is better, and the imitation is poor.

The 1970s collection has a yellowish tinge on both the sole and the interior material. The sole contains a lot of glue, so it is brownish.

Where the sole has a texture, there are several round dots. It is a reference mark for the toe fit of the shoe.

The shoebox is made of a piece of corrugated paper, which has bright colors, thick and hard paper, and clear printing without ghosting. There are two stickers on the right side of the shoebox, one with a front and side view of the shoes, and marked with the name, article number, color and size of the shoes; The other sheet is printed with a unified article number, a unified retail price, a model number, a material, a size, and a computer barcode.

**Converse: You can judge the authenticity based on the workmanship and the connection of some of the bottom of the board and the feeling of the upper feet.

1.**The font of the shoe label is clear and clear, the font size is balanced, the edges are clean and clear, and the pigment on the font is painted in general.

version is more uniform right; The font of the imitation shoe label is occasionally deformed, the size is inconsistent, and the edge of the font sometimes appears to be smudged with paint, and there are burrs on a closer look.

2.From model 08 onwards, the SKU article number code under the shoe label has been changed to 6 digits. In the early days, fakes did not keep up with the rhythm of **, and there will be 5 digits, and most of the fake shoes have also done 6-digit SKU item number coding.

3.The key point of the shoe mark is the anti-counterfeiting line. That is, from the 08 model,**Converse shoe label under the bottom of the more a thick black anti-counterfeiting marking,This line has some technical content in it,This black line is a black under normal circumstances,Only under a special light source (purple light) can be seen clearly,Generally you can see about a vertical bar,A bar sign that is not square,There will be a slight sense of unevenness when touched by hand,This is a grainy anti-counterfeiting code。

At present, the vast majority of fake shoes are not at the level of this three-dimensional barcode, so this is the key to identification.
