Sambas and Campus styles are among the most faked sneakers on resale sites, and a replica can look convincing in a listing photo. For an Adidas authenticity check, a professional authenticator reviews the shape, suede or leather, Three Stripes, Trefoil branding, size label and box label against references for that colorway, then gives a real or fake verdict online.

Very useful. Found a counterfeit pair of shoes I would have never figured out.

What we check on Adidas
How to tell a real Adidas from a fake
On Adidas the size label is the first tell: replicas copy the article number but often print the text thinner and lighter. These are the parts of a pair our authenticators check from your photos.
01
Size label
Print weight of the country and size grid text, the article number against the colorway, and the dates.
02
Three Stripes
Placement, spacing, edge cut and stitching of the stripes for the model.
03
Tongue and Trefoil
Tongue label print or embroidery, the Trefoil and the gold foil branding where the model uses it.
04
Stitching
Stitch density and straight lines along the stripes, the toe and the heel.
05
Shape and profile
Toe shape, heel height and the low profile of terrace styles like the Samba and Campus.
06
Suede and leather
Nap, grain and color of the upper against a retail pair.
07
Outsole
Gum or rubber color, tread pattern and the moulded branding.
08
Box label
Article number, colorway name and size matching the size label.

No lookup or scan can prove that. Searching an article number shows which model and colorway it belongs to, and replicas print genuine article numbers. Codes on labels get copied from genuine pairs too, so whatever a QR code opens, it is one checkpoint at most. We check the label against the pair and the box, then the stitching, the materials and the shape.
Yes. StockX named the Campus 00s and the Samba among the most faked sneakers it received in 2024. On these pairs we look hardest at the size label print, the suede, the gold lettering, the T-toe and the gum sole.
No. Adidas makes most of its footwear in Vietnam, Indonesia and China, and the same model can come from more than one of them. The country only matters when it does not fit that model and run, which we check against references.
We compare your pair with verified references for that exact colorway, detail by detail, and the better replicas still tend to slip on the label print, the suede or the shape. If your photos do not show enough to decide, we ask for more instead of guessing.
Yes. Yeezy has its own authentication page with model-specific checks for the 350, 500, 700, Slides and Foam Runner. This page covers every other Adidas sneaker, from the Samba and Campus to collaborations, plus Adidas clothing.
Yes. Adidas football shirts, tracksuits and other clothing are authenticated on this page from photos of the labels, the badge or crest, the printing and the stitching.
For the most accurate and quick authentication process, we advise you to upload clear photos of the areas visible when clicking 'Upload photos' on this page. We quickly determine if the uploaded photo meets our criteria. If your photos do not meet the criteria, you will receive a request for more and/or clearer photos. Check out Photo Instructions to find clear examples for each detail.
