Prada Cloudbust trainers: how can you spot a counterfeit?

The Cloudbust trainer by Prada is a high-end sports shoe designed by the famous Italian brand Prada. It was first launched in 2018 and has quickly established itself as one of the most popular and sought-after sneakers on the market. The Cloudbust is a unique shoe that combines elegance and functionality. It is now one of Prada's most iconic products. Unfortunately, its fame has not been able to ward off counterfeiters, who have been quick to create replicas of this iconic model. That's why, if you're looking to buy your pair of Prada shoes second-hand or outside an official shop, we've provided some tips on how to tell a real pair of Cloudbust trainers from a fake.

Closing :

The Velcro fastening on the Cloudbust shoes by Prada makes this pair of shoes as original as they are surprising. The first thing to look for to confirm the authenticity of your pair of shoes is the Prada inscription on the fastening.

This inscription is generally reproduced in the wrong way by replica factories. Prada makes this inscription with a small indentation at the bottom of the letters. Counterfeiters generally forget this detail.

Also look at the space between each letter of the inscription. On a genuine pair of the luxury brand's shoes, the spacing is regular, but on a fake pair, the spacing is not. The Prada logo must be neatly and precisely inscribed.

The insole :

You should also pay particular attention to the insole of your pair of luxury shoes. It also says a lot about its authenticity. This sole is made from high-quality leather.

The leathers used by counterfeit factories are cheap leathers that do not have the same look or the same characteristics as top-of-the-range leather. The leather of a genuine pair of shoes is neither too shiny nor too porous. Fraudsters also use thinner leather, which is more fragile.

Finishes :

Also analyse the finish of your pair of shoes. Prada places great importance on the aesthetics of its products, and the Cloudbust trainer is no exception. Every detail must be precise and detailed.

Counterfeiters don't attach the same importance to detail; their sole aim is to make the maximum profit. So it's not unusual to see hanging threads, rough surfaces, non-symmetrical parts or uneven seams.

All these details should put you on the right track as to whether or not this is a genuine pair of Cloudbust by Prada.

The outsole :

The rubber outsole is an important feature of the Cloudbust trainer from Prada, providing extra grip on the ground for greater stability and foot protection.

The rubber used for the outsole of the Prada Cloudbust is of high quality and is also tested to ensure excellent grip and increased resistance to wear. Counterfeits use lower quality materials. We therefore strongly advise you to check the quality of the sole before buying to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
