Silverspeed 10 Posted August 27, 2010 According to industry experts the tell to know if it are fake sneakers is the smell of the glue.... wondering if you can still smell the glue after the sneakers have been worn.... :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted August 27, 2010 I think given the quality of labour the actual brands use it's probably a myth about the glue anyway. Most likely the gen and rep factories are over the road from eachother (they're probably owned by the same company if it's anything like Chinese guitar factories) and blueprints from the 'gen' factory mysteriously disappear for an afternoon every now and again.
