How to distinguish an original from a copy?
A fake brand can be found on almost any site that offers Balenciaga sneakers. First of all, pay attention to the country of manufacture. On some resources are not shy and point out China. Such shoes will be made of low-quality material and will serve you for a short time. TOBalenciaga shirts are sewn only in Spain. The company logo is printed on the sole. The sole itself is made of quality rubber, and the model is made of genuine lamb leather.
If you doubt the basic material, then take a look at the cut of the skin. Genuine leather cannot be on a textile basis. You can drip some water onto a small area. If it is genuine leather, then the moisture will be absorbed, and the place will darken.
Another way to check leather sneakers for originality is to put a hand to them. Since genuine leather heats up, it remains warm for a few seconds. Artificial substitute will remain cold.
Balenciaga brand almost never makes discounts, therefore, if you see sales at 50% on the site, then most likely these sneakers are fake. The company has its own official website, which displays the current prices and address of the manufacturer.
The company around the world has only a few stores. The main ones are in France, the USA, Japan, Hong Kong, Great Britain, Italy, China and South Korea. In Russia, the Balenciaga brand is represented in only three cities - Moscow, St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk. You can buy Balenciaga sneakers in Moscow at TsUM on Petrovka.
