All Nike shoes are packed inside a box with a certain label and tag. The colour and print of the box usually vary depending on the style but mainly the boxes revolve around the colors red, orange, and brown. The print on the box should have the size, serial number, and style, with a barcode.

Where are Nike shoes manufactured? If the tag says "made in China" are the shoes fake? No. The vast majority of real Nike shoes are made in factories in China, Vietnam, and other Asian countries.

Nike neck tags and wash tags can be used to authenticate and identify Nike clothing items, and they also function as an interesting reference for Nike's logo and tag history. At first, the Nike logo on the neck tag did not leverage the iconic Nike swoosh, but in 1987 this became a mainstay.

4 The co-founder of Nike, Phil Knight, and his son Travis Knight, along with the holding companies and trusts they control, own more than 97% of outstanding Class A shares. 5 This allows the Knight family to exercise effective control of Nike even though it is a publicly traded business.
