Dear forum members,
Bought a pair of leather all-white Air Max 90's last weekend, model number 302519-113. From a seller from The Hague who has had the same weekend fair stand for decades and is known for selling athentic stuff, from whom i have bought Nike shoes for decades and who, thusfar, has never sold me a fake pair. The boxes he sells them in often show the little square purple sticker that -i was told- indicates minor faults or overproduction items, but i don't care. I know my size and he knows me as a longtime good customer (must be more than 50 pairs by now) so i just take the box and take it home.
When unpacking the shoes st home i noticed that the inner soles were different, although the shoes themselves look fine. Quality parallel stitching, all numbers on shoes and box matching, letter Q in "FABRIQUÉ" with a bit of tail inside the circle, proper materials, decent labels and sharply defined lettering in the right spacing.
But the inner soles have an adhesive film and cannot be removed from the shoes. The foam underneath the textile top layer is thin and blue, with the same rtickness everywhere. The logo stamped on the textile (which normally has sharply defined shapes and edges and which is probably a decal attached through heat) has in this case slightly washed edges. Inner soles like that are typical for cheap sneakers, it is for the first time i saw this applied in Air Max 90 shoes. Could this be the first pair of fakes i bought from this man? Or is this a new practice in some models of this type of shoe?

Has any other forum member seen Air Max 90 shoes with glued tight inner soles yet?
