Just bought my first pair of running shoes from an Adidas outlet yesterday. This morning while googling for more of their products, it struck me that an ori pair Adidas shoes doesn't have 'heel tag' (which is a tiny triangular bit of material where the upper leather meets the second layer of leather on the heel of the shoe) with it. I checked mine and omg, there are heel tags Further research brought my attention to another forum, where someone said that it is likely for some designs to have heel tag (I DOUBT THAT). I checked all other features, which turned out to be okay.

Need help from Adidas lover/collectors to confirm it's authenticity for me

Btw, I bought this Adidas breeze for rm260. Is it possible for an Adidas outlet to be selling imitation products? I looked at the receipt and found out that the outlet is actually owned by RSH (Royal Sporting House), which is quite a big name in Malaysia. However, I still can't get over the 'heel tag' issue

Please help Adidas lover/collectors!!








The 'heel tag'

manufacturing "defect"

i don't know ler. apparently the heel tag is said to be one of the ways to differentiate between fake and ori ones

Perhaps you can bring to other Adidas outlet to verify?
