Air Max 90 Essential

andrzej1_1 · May 16, 2018

Hello! I bought (Nike?) Air Max 90 Essential on polish auction site: http://allegro.pl/buty-nike-air-max-90-537384-080-wysylka-z-polski-i7287509012.html. Seller claimed that he is selling only original shoes, but after wearing it for a while, I am felling it's not true. Could you tell what do you think? Any help would be much appreciated.

Def fakes. Overall profile shape is off, and so are some details (mudguard size, placing of the AM panel in it).
Also the box label looks good at first glance but after closer inspection both color description lines are wrong. This is how a legit label looks:

Price is also a red flag and the fact that the guy's selling multiple sizes that sold out everywhere (they released 2 years ago), which doesn't necessarily make them fakes but is def a red flag.

Try and get your money back.

modus47 Great thanks! I told seller about few of your observations and he agreed to return my money

By the way I found great article about detecting fakes: https://sneakerfactory.net/sneakers/2017/09/nike-air-max-90-counterfeit-vs-real/. In particular the point 7 was true in my case and there was not extra layer of foam in the tongue. Thank you again.
