Adidas is known worldwide for its quality products. The quality of these products means the price is not always affordable to everyone, so some people revert to buying fake Adidas.
Price
If you see price much lower than retail (from 70-100USD) it is about to 100% to be counterfeit. But some selling fakes for real prices.
Heel Tag
This is probably the easiest feature to identify. Adidas hasn’t released shoes with heel tags in years so real Adidas Superstar sneakers would not have heel tags. The heels are probably the most neglected areas to look at but there are a few areas to check so make sure you get pictures of the back of the shoe.
