How to recognize Original Nike Air Max

How to recognize Original Nike Air Max

We all love them, the comfortable sneakers and the counterfeiting industry has long since discovered this for themselves. Especially the coveted Nike Air Max is one of the most counterfeit shoes ever. But to make sure you don’t fall into the fake trap, we did the fake check for you.

Nike Air Max Logo

An important feature that you should take a closer look at is the Nike Swoosh logo. Make sure that it is cut evenly and that the distance to the logo is even. The lettering “AIR MAX” should consist of prominent letters, but if this is not the case, for example, because the lettering is only printed on it, it is most likely not an original Nike Air Max shoe. As you can see in the picture, the word “MAX” is always written in a larger font size than “AIR” on all originals. Also take a close look at the workmanship and the colour of the letters, which should not flake off and make a high-quality impression.

Inner label

Innenetikett

The inner label of the Nike Air Max usually contains the same information and should always be included. The time of manufacture is always located below the size indication in MM/DD/JJ format. To make sure that the shoe you are holding in your hands is original, you should check the model number. Simply go to the Nike web store and compare the number of your model with the number of identical shoes. You can find this number by clicking on the product and checking the nine-digit number on the far right under “Style”. If it is an older model, you can also find the model number on Google.

Nike Air-Pad

The Air-Pads of the original Air Max models are usually always transparent. So you should be able to see through the air pads without any problems, whereas fake air pads often look cloudy. Also, take a closer look at the nubs. If they consist of several individual pieces and different colours, it is most likely a fake.

Internal sole

Another feature that you should take a closer look at during the fake check is the insole of the Nike Air Max. It should always have the words “NIKE” or “NIKE AIR” and the Nike Swoosh on it. If you’ve worn these shoes before and notice that the lettering comes off the sole, you should be paying attention, because on all originals the lettering is usually still clearly visible even after repeated use.

Since there are already many different models of the Nike Air Max on the market, it can happen that some features differ from the usual ones, especially if they are special editions. So if you’re not sure, check out a Nike store and ask if your shoes are original.
