Comparison between CDP 3 and FAKE Black Cement 3 - PICS inside

[s3p4tu]

I did some homework for my own benefit. I thought I'd share to the community. Sorry for crappy picture quality, but hopefully it's"insightful". Feel free to add more if needed, or moved to the right thread. The legit CDP3 picture is courtesy of SoleSeeker from ISS.



1: On CDP 3, the letter "A" is more "pointy" at the top. Also, letter "R" is more balance.
Fake 3, the letter "A" is more "square" at the top. And letter "R" is not balanced.

2: On CDP 3: the upper rubber heel is more equally cut compared to Fake 3.

3: On CDP 3: the grey outsole is more thicker than Fake 3.

4: On CDP 3, elephan print is thicker and bolder. Also on CDP 3, it has double stitching.



1: Again, the stitching on CDP 3 is more consistent.

2: On CDP3, the elephant print is more thicker and bolder. Also, the width is not as wide as the fake one.

3: Unfortunately, the pic is not clear enough, but on CDP3, the hole pattern is lot smaller and closer to one another.

4: On CDP 3, the liner is black compared to grey color on the fake 3. This is one of the most obvious ones.

5: On CDP 3, the tounge has lighter grey color compared to fake 3. Also, the Jumpman is bigger.

The tag on CDP 3 is NOT on the tounge.

Overall, you can tell the the fake 3 has crappy stitching and leather material compared to CDP 3.

Now do that comparison of the 01 III's to the cdp, and you will find alot of differences like you have here.

Nice comparison, but im thinking if you wear them each a few times the paint cracks on the cdp's before the fakes

Great Info

Thre isn't much difference in the quality if you ask me. With most of these CDP the material used seems the same. Nike just has more detailed machines forthe other stuff. Crap is crap, some crap is just made better then other crap!

 

[eltouha]

the difference in grey tone is more likely due to the photos

 

[air marvin]

Great Comparison, thanks for the info..

 

[edgarvega4]

thanks for the info

 

[Arthur Shelby]

good info

 

[ijapino]

Thanks for the comparison...

My only critique would be that not all fakes have the same characteristics.

 

[tj detweiler]

The look great period. People need to stop cryin'

 

[dirtyxcanto]

good info, thanks

 

[gettummike]

I would like to see you compare the 01's with the cdp. shm

Question for ijapino: Is marqueesole a legit site? Because I bought the CDP 3's 2 months ago and I got another pair, not much of a difference but the lacesare longer and the leather are more shiny compared to the one that I bought from a fellow NT'er. Thanks a lot! For me it looks like a B grade..
