In this article; the author tells us his experience of buying Nike SB Dunks. Unfortunately what he bought proved to be fake ones. Then the author gets some information about identifying the real Nike SB Dunks.
Want to skateboard? Choose Nike SB! That is cool. Skateboard game in TV show is my favorite. For they seem to be very cool,
dangerous and difficult. Playing skateboard with Nike SB shoes on my feet is my dream. Then I got a skateboard and a pair of Nike SB shoes which are the most popular ones for the time being. The Nike SB Dunks were sold at less than $100 in authorized retailers but the great demand has made the price increase to over $1000 now. According to the ads, the Nike SB shoes should be rather comfortable, but when I wear my Nike SB shoes, I don't have the same feeling. This makes me very annoyed. By my friend's words, I bought a pair of counterfeits. How terrible it is! I paid 1oo dollars for them. That money could have bought a pair of genuine Nike SB Dunks. In order to make judge the genuineness of them, I get some information on internet.
The first thing is to examine the box of the Nike SB Dunks. As to the first and second series of Nike SB Dunks; they are endowed with an orange box. Shoes of the third series are equipped with a silver box together with a green label. Except the above situation, the boxes can also have the following matches, say, if the box comes in sliver, then the label should be in orange, if the box is in pink, then the label, orange or black, and if the box is in black or purple, then the label is required to be in black. If the boxes of the Nike SB Dunks don't come in the above situations, then these shoes may be counterfeits.
Then you can remove the shoes from the box. Normally, there should be a clear plastic bag in which the shoes are put in. The bag is resalable, and in it, you can find spare laces for the Nike SB Dunks. The bag for the genuine Nike SB Dunks should be 7.5 cm wide and 13.5 cm high.
Then examine the spare laces inside the bag. These authentic spare laces should come in different colors from those on the Nike SB Dunks.
After checking the laces, you are required to examine and feel the tongue of Nike SB Dunks. If the Nike SB Dunks are authentic, then their tongues should be thick, and they should come in curved "V" or "U" shape. But as to the counterfeits, their tongues are flat as well as square.
The fifth step is to check the "NIKE" inlaid in the back of the shoes. If the shoes are authentic, these letters are required to be thick instead of thin.
Next you should check the trademark of the shoes, i.e. the "swoosh" emblem. The "swoosh" on the fake shoes tend to be obviously thin or thick.
Last, turn the shoes over, and check the soles. If the shoes are authentic, there should be "NIKE" and the trademark "swoosh" on their soles.
As to Nike SB Dunks, they are not exactly the same with Nike Dunks. You should bear this in mind. Don't believe the seller who tells you that general Nike Dunks are also Nike SB Dunks. Their only purpose is to make money.
