You can see the characteristics of genuine Fila Disruptor sneakers on the official website of the manufacturer. There is a detailed description of the product.

Check Fila Disruptor sneakers by barcode:

In order not to fall for a fake, because a search engine on the Internet will give out an innumerable number of online stores (you may not immediately figure out where the original is sold), you should pay attention to the visual examination of a pair of sneakers. You can recognize the real Fila Disruptor from a fake using the following parameters:

Package

It is recommended to start identifying a fake by inspecting the box. Branded packaging is carried out without printing defects. The spelling of the brand should not contain spelling errors.

The original shoe box is made of thick cardboard, so it does not wrinkle or tear during transportation. Counterfeit manufacturers save money on this by packing sneakers in soft cardboard boxes. Therefore, fakes are usually found in crumpled and even torn boxes.

The sneakers themselves are packaged in paper, which is printed with the Fila brand name. Fake copies may be wrapped in plain white paper or be completely blank. Fake paper can be replaced with a plastic bag.

Replica boxes fall apart after opening. The walls of the package are stratified.

Sticker

There must be a sticker on the box with the following information: serial number, article number, model name, pair size.

There must be an information sticker on the packaging. The original has:

• vendor code;
• shoe size;
• model name;
• mini drawing of sneakers;
• barcode.

A fake has no sticker or contains false information.

inscriptions

Labels with inscriptions on sneakers should be sewn evenly and neatly. Threads between letters when moving from one to another are a sign of falsification.

Sewing

After inspecting the packaging, it is important to start checking the appearance of the sneakers. Low-quality replicas give themselves out as obvious defects. They may also give off an unpleasant odor.

The original Fila Disruptor shoes have even seams, stitches with the same loops. If we talk about fake, then the seams of such products are uneven, the threads can stick out in different directions.

Looking through a pair of shoes, you should pay attention to the heel line. Original sneakers will be flat, cheap copies will be slightly curved.

Logo

On Phil's sneakers, the logo is affixed in several places. It should not have spelling errors, extra stitches or protruding threads. Between the letters in branded shoes there is no thread of transition from one character to another.

The logo is also present on the tongue. The original is much more accurate.

A logo tag is sewn to the heel of the shoe. In a fake, the seam has uneven stitches, and the label itself is skewed.

seams

Fila branded shoes have even seams. All stitches must be the same size. The original does not have double loops. A fake is often given out by protruding threads.

The heel does not get into the eyes of the buyer in the first place, so scammers do not pay much attention to it. The back of the replica has a lot of defects associated with the distortion of the material or seams.

If the sneakers have a thread sticking out or there are defective seam loops, then it is recommended to refuse the purchase, as it is a fake.

Glue. In no case should glue residues be visible on the originals, which fake sneakers cannot boast of.

Lacing. It is also useful to pay attention to its edge when detecting a fake product. For originals, it is pure white, for fakes it has a pronounced greenish tint.

Another nuance to the laces is that the holes in the real Fila Disruptor are equipped with a reflective. In the manufacture of copies of this part, they do not attach importance, they simply save money on it.

Internal shoe side

Sneakers on the inside and toe are perforated. Moreover, the holes on the original product are much smaller than on the counterfeit.

The original perforation holes do not have notches. They are all equal.

For a fake, perforation is performed on insufficiently sharp equipment. In some cases, the holes in the replicas serve only a decorative purpose.

Sole

Real Philas come with elastic soles. It contains a corporate image. From the sole of the original should not come from extraneous odors. Fakes may have increased rigidity and difficulty in bending.

Outwardly, it is extremely difficult to distinguish the original Fila Disruptor sole from a fake one. But upon closer examination or trying on, it becomes clear that real sneakers have a softer sole, although all the patterns and reliefs are exactly the same.

Fakes often show casting defects.

The inside of the shoe

If you look at fake and original sneakers from the inside, you may not notice the difference. It is better to feel it: in a fake product, the fabric inside resembles a terry towel, in real Fila Disruptor it is smoother and more uniform.

Availability of a QR code

It is sewn on the inside of the tongue.

It is better to scan it immediately - check for authenticity.

Fake sneakers may also have this code, but when scanned, it will most likely turn out to be erroneous.

Sticker on the tongue

In addition to the code, under the tongue there is a sticker that indicates the serial number, manufacturer, material from which the sneakers are made. A feature of this protection against falsification is that the last 5 digits on the right and left sneakers are different, the manufacturers involved in copies do not attach any importance to this - they attach exactly the same stickers.

Price

This is one of the first points that the buyer should pay special attention to.

The cost of one pair of real Fila Disruptor is on average 6,000 rubles, while a fake product can be purchased for about 4,000 rubles.

The difference is not so big, so there is no point in saving - it is better to focus on quality. The original Fila Disruptor will last more than 1 year.
