It's really cool to enjoy skateboarding with Nike SB shoes on feet. I love to watch skateboard in TV show. Because they are so cool,
dangerous as well as difficult. I aspire to own a pair of Nike SB shoes, then wear them to play skateboard. Hence, in order to achieve my dream, I bought a skateboard, and the most popular shoes, i.e. Nike SB shoes. Before, you could buy a pair of Nike SB dunk shoes from authorized retailers with less than $100; However, as time goes, the demand has been too much, and this promotes the price of these shoes rise to a high level, that is, now you should pay more than $1000 for a pair of Nike SB Dunks. What' s worse, I feel rather upset because I find that the Nike SB I get is not as comfortable as what the ads has described. By my friend's words, I bought a pair of counterfeits. What a terrible thing! The money I paid for them was $100 which is the price of a pair of genius Nike SB Dunks. Then I surf on the internet to identify whether they are fake or not.
The first thing is to examine the box of the Nike SB Dunks. The first and second series of Nike SB Dunks are put in an orange box. If the shoes belong to the third series, then their box are in silver, and the label of these shoes are green. 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, a pink box together with a black label or an orange label, a black box or a purple box with a black label. Off-colored boxes can be regarded as a sign of fake Nike SB Dunks.
Next take out the shoes from the box. Normally, there should be a clear plastic bag in which the shoes are put in. There also should be spare laces of the Nike SB Dunks inside the resalable bag. If the height of the bag is 13.5 cm and the width is 7.5 cm, then the bag is authentic.
Then examine the spare laces inside the bag. These authentic spare laces should come in different colors from those on the Nike SB Dunks.
The following step is to look and feel the tongue of the 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.
Then you can examine the "NIKE" embodied on 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. If the shoes are counterfeit, their "swoosh" would 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.
Attention that Nike Dunks are equal to Nike SB Dunks. for some sellers, general Nike Dunks are similar to Nike SB Dunks, if you meet such people, don't believe their words. They just want to earn your money.
