The serial number on the underside of the tab must match the serial number on the box. The brand uses its cloverleaf logo in a print on the tongue and not a sticker like the counterfeits.

The adidas Superstar shoe debuted in 1970 as basketball's first all-leather low top and rose to new heights in the 1980s as a streetwear staple.

Look for the tag on the product which will have the size and other product information mainly inside the shoe that is behind the tongue of the shoe. Real Adidas shoes have tags with serial numbers for the left and right shoe. However, a fake product will have the same serial number on both shoes.

The Superstar is a style of low-top athletic shoe which has been manufactured by the German multinational company Adidas since 1969. Originally released as a low-top version of the Pro Model basketball shoe, the design is nicknamed the "shell toe", "shell shoe", and "shell top" due to its rubber shell toe cap.
