You get ZX, a futuristic and retro-inspired men's shoe with technology you can feel with every step. The ZX 2K's adidas Boost midsole delivers unmatched energy return, so you can stride through your day comfortably without missing a beat.

The real adidas Originals have different serial numbers on the left and right basket, unlike the fake ones. 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.

Checking the serial number is one of the easiest ways to verify the authenticity of Adidas shoes. Fraudsters producing fakes often overlook this very detail. If you have an original pair, you will find the unique identification code on the inside of the shoe.

Tip 3: All genuine Adidas products have serial numbers on the tags affixed to them. The tags have the size and product information on the inside of the shoe (behind the tongue).
