Missing Logo Elements
Sometimes the counterfeiter forgets the details. Adidas happens to be the most replicated and visible footwear brand in Africa, Eastern Europe the Middle East and Asia - followed closely by Nike. Misspellings often occur in the counterfeiting trade. For Adidas, these misspellings include: Adidos, Adibas, Adihash (Australia), Addidis, Addidas, and Adidias. Another popular mistake is the logo identifiers - like Nike's Swoosh and Adidas three stripes. Here we see the center "Adidas" sneaker seems to be missing a stripe. Finding Nike's swoosh symbol reversed in direction is not uncommon to find either.
