Examine the Chuck Taylor patch. The real patch has a navy blue star, whereas the fake one may have different shade of blue. Also, the original will be stamped with only a star and Taylor's signature. Be leery of emblems that are not clear. Many fake ones look blurry and have other design elements or words.
All Stars also come in such a wide array of styles and colors. The logo won’t always be blue and sometimes the patch is made of rubber.
Examine the star itself and be sure it is a clean print.

Look at the trademark. Shoes made before 2008 will have the ® symbol under the All Star logo. If you see this symbol on shoes made after 2008, be cautious. Check the stitched logo as well. Although it may appear authentic, if you spot a patchy or unclear logo, it’s fake.


A shoe known worldwide under its own name? We can imagine “Chuck Taylor” – nicknamed “Chucks”. Everyone knows them and many of us love the comfortable sneakers from Converse . The trend shoe from Converse was already designed in 1923 and originally developed as a basketball shoe. Since then, the legendary shoes have reached worldwide cult status and have now sold nearly a billion times. Already stars like James Dean or Elvis wore the trendy Chucks in their time and even today the hype around the sporty shoe is unbroken. Converse All Star are the perfect shoes for leisure. Whether you combine your Converse shoes casual with jeans or wear a sweet mini dress with floral print: the original Chuck Taylor fits almost every look.

The most important features of the High Top Chucks are clearly the logo patch on the inside of the shoe. If you find a shoe that has the logo on the outside of the shoe, it is 100% a fake model and can be used as an exclusion criterion. An original Converse shoe has the round logo patch always on the inside of the shoe. The patch itself consists of a thin, round rubber layer. The circle of an original Converse shoe is exactly 4.6 cm in diameter. The patches of fakes are usually slightly smaller. On the logo patch are the letters “Converse All Star” in uppercase letters as well as the name of the model “Chuck Taylor”.

The logo of Fake Converse shoes is often out of focus, not color, the color can be blurred or the font differs from the original. In addition, the logo is often found on the logo of Fake Converse shoes. It is the trademark for a registered trademark. Original Chucks have not integrated the “R” since 2008 in their logo! Second hand, however, you can still get a vintage Converse model, which is branded with the old logo.

In order to use the shoe tongue in an original Converse shoe as a recognition feature, it is of relevance whether it is a low or high top model. For every Low Top model, the Converse All Star logo has the tongue on the tongue – but not on the high top models. Traditionally, this is a thin, rectangular canvas fabric sewn onto the shoe tongue. However, there are also original Converse models, which are only a print. Whether sewn or printed: the logo should be clearly recognizable. A fuzzy writing or a bad processing of the seams should make you immediately stupid. It could be a fake. Whether low or high top: the tab contains a small patch on the inside, which contains information like the Country of manufacture, the model number and the shoe size.

THE SOLE OF THE ORIGINAL CONVERSE SHOES
Also the sole of the original Converse provides you some identification features for authentication.

Inner sole: The inscription “Converse” is printed in capital letters in the inner sole of each chuck. As with all other logos, the print should also be clear and clear. With vintage models, this can be worn off by wear, of course, and does not have to mean a fake. However, all Converse sneakers should be the brand name on the inside sole.

Outsole: On the outsole, you can also hide whether you are dealing with an original or fake. So check it out, if you can spot conspicuousness. For every Original Converse shoe you will find a small part on the outer sole, which incorporates the Converse logo.

Converse text logo on the insole looks purple? It is a fake Converse All Star.

Real shoes have Converse logo on the heel in addition to All Star text. All logos should be positioned straight and accurate.
