Originals Or Fakes?

Short answer: They’re factory-grade, first-copy versions, produced in the very same manufacturing hubs that the world’s best-known sneaker brands rely on—just without the big-brand markup.

The full story

  1. Made in the same place “originals” are made

    • Nike, adidas, New Balance, and countless other labels have long sourced uppers, midsoles, and outsoles from specialist factories in southern China and Vietnam.

    • We partner with many of those exact facilities (or, in some cases, their direct neighbors on the same industrial campus).

  2. Identical machinery & workmanship

    • The production lines use the same injection-mold presses, stitching machines, and quality-control protocols as the big brands.

    • Our engineers run independent spot checks for glue bonding, colorfastness, and durability at every batch.

  3. What makes them “first copy”

    • “First copy” means pattern files and material specs are matched 1-to-1 with the brand’s latest release.

    • We do not claim trademark ownership or official affiliation—think of it as a factory-grade homage, not a counterfeit with dubious shortcuts.

  4. Why our price is lower

    • No celebrity endorsements, flagship stores, or multi-layer distribution.

    • We ship directly from the factory floor to your door, slashing overheads without cutting corners on materials or craftsmanship.

  5. Our quality promise

    • Premium synthetics and leathers, reinforced stitching, and triple-check inspections.

    • 30-day wear-test guarantee: if the build doesn’t live up to your expectations, send them back for a replacement or a full refund—no hassle.

Bottom line: You get the same factory skill set, better attention to detail, and a price that stays friendly to your wallet. That’s the Gadtrek way.
