Veja Shoes: How to Recognize a Counterfeit?

Veja, a French shoe brand created in 2005, has the particularity of offering ecological and ethical sneakers, using sustainable raw materials and favoring short circuits and fair trade. Veja is enjoying great success through the launch of its collections and more particularly those of Veja shoes. These latest models are vintage and authentic, which appeals to a large number of people, which does not escape counterfeiters. The latter constantly reproduce “fake” versions of them.

Unfortunately, if you are not a connoisseur, you can easily be fooled by the attractive offers of copied products from the brand. In this article, we reveal tips that will allow you to identify an authentic pair of Veja and differentiate it from a counterfeit product.

The back of the shoe

First, check the back of your shoe. This must have the brand logo written on a dial of another color. The color must be identical to the V written on the side of the pair of Veja. The logo inscription is in white and must be in capital letters.

The logo

It is best not to forget an element like the logo, to avoid imitation.

The brand logo must be written as previously mentioned on the back of the shoe, in capital letters and in white color. This must also be present on the side of the sneaker, it is represented in the form of a half-cut V. The bottom of it remains slightly cut. It must be the same color as the dial on the back of the shoe where the brand name is also visible. The logo is present on the front of the tongue with the V, the name Veja framed in a rectangle. If these elements are not identifiable on your pair of Veja, you are probably facing a counterfeit.

Below is what the logo should look like.

The label

In order to verify the authenticity of your Veja pair, you must start by analyzing the labels. First of all, the interior label present on the inside of the tab must be written with perfectly readable text without any typing or printing errors. You can look at the font size and their location on the label. On a fake model, the color is less visible, and the writing is particularly blurry, not very clear, and it can bleed. On the latter, you can compare the size, the writing, the spaces between the letters, the sharpness, the quality... It is important to also check for spelling mistakes since many counterfeiters do not pay much attention to the writing and make a multitude of spelling mistakes, whether in the writing or in the name of the brand and product.

Here is where the inside label with the previous information should be located.

The outsole

First, check the brand logo on the outsole: the Veja logo must be clearly printed on the sole, with well-defined typography and without defects. Counterfeits may have a blurred or poorly printed logo.

Look at the texture and quality of the rubber since Veja uses natural, wild rubber from the Amazon for its soles, which gives them a particular texture and irregularities. Counterfeit soles may have a too regular or smooth texture, or be made of synthetic materials.

Also check the details of the sole, as the brand has particular attention to the details of its soles, with well-defined engravings and inscriptions. Counterfeits may have poorly defined details such as protruding threads or buckling seams.

You can also check the origin of the shoe, it usually makes its shoes in South America, mainly in Brazil. If the shoe claims to be made in another country, this may be a sign of counterfeiting.
