Tips you should know before buying the Nike Huarache
- One of the main tips is not to fall into the trap of scam online stores. There are a lot of online stores dedicated to selling fake sneakers, which present you with the best images of that model, and the best details, but ultimately that pair will never arrive at your address. The best trick to detect if a website is legal or not is: social networks. If that website does not have icons that take you to external social network accounts, it is possibly a fraudulent website. Nowadays all online Sneakers stores have social networks to promote their products.
- You must be consistent, getting the original Nike Huarache sneakers is always going to be more expensive than their fake model. The launch price of this model usually costs between 120€ and 140€, although in sales you can get it for around 80€. Therefore, if you find this model for less than 50€, start to be suspicious, it is probably a fake. Although you should know that the Huarache for children can be around that price, being a children's size.
- You should also know the main differences between all versions. This will help you to know the details of each model with greater accuracy, and thus avoid being ripped off in your second-hand purchase.
The sole, the eyelets, and the tongue.
Some of the easiest details to compare the original and fake Nike Huarache models are the sole, the number of eyelets and the tongue. For the outsole you have to look at the Nike Air logo, in the real silhouettes it always appears detailed in color, also the quality of the outsole is quite differential to the touch. The eyelets that this silhouette presents are ten on each side, in the adult size, two columns of eyelets that allow you to customize the closure of the sneakers to the size of the user.
Some Nike Huarache fake only have 5 on each side. The circular By Huarache logo is embroidered on the outside of the tongue, while the inside is the easiest way to tell them apart: you only need to know the color code, as the counterfeit models never have the Nike product code on the label.
Materials, stitching, and product labels
If you can touch the materials you will be able to quickly see the difference in quality, usually the main difference is in the upper, in cases where mesh is used as the main material. The seams of the fake models are of lower quality and resistance, in the toecap they always appear with a double reinforcement seam.
Another of the main differences, which is usually the main one to differentiate between original and fake Nike Huarache is in the labels, both on the box and on the inside of the tongue. Look at the Nike product code, an example is this model you are seeing in the images: AH8049-101. The code always appears both on the tongue label and on the box label, so you should look for the code of the color you want to buy on the Internet or on Nikes official website.
