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.

The tags have the size and product information on the inside of the shoe (behind the tongue). Real Adidas shoes will have tags with different serial numbers for the left and right shoe, but a fake product will have the same serial number.

This is a combination of numbers and letters located at the bottom of the shoe label. According to Adidas regulations, each pair of shoes will have a different component code. Moreover, if they are genuine shoes, the component code on the left shoe and the right shoe will be different.
