On the tongue in the original pairs from Nike There is the brand's logo. On the inside of the tongue on the tag should be product information, including size and country of manufacture. There is also a 9-digit serial number, which should correspond to the code on the box.

Examine the SKU number on the box and the labels inside of the shoes. Every pair of authentic Nike shoes comes with an SKU number that is identical to the SKU number on their box. If the numbers are missing or do not match, they are likely fakes. Check the tongue label.
