The Nike Air Max 360 is a trainer like no other trainer and superior for running purposes, and I would highly recommend this model from Nike to all.

However it's important that a buyer does not end up with fake or replica trainers for sports purposes as this can do great harm to the foot, the foots posture and the shin area of the legs.

The following are pre/post measures that one can take when looking on ebay to purchase Nike Air Max 360 trainers.

1) Firstly ask the seller whether he is aware whether they fake? and are they being sold as authentic/genuine/original?

2) Also you can ask the seller for the 9 digit style and color number from the shoe, and this can be authenticated from a Nike outlet (e.g. Nike Town).

3) Ask for a snapshot of the label underneath the tongue, and compare this with an original from a outlet. Fake labels are of a different size, font, colour and hold bogus information/codes so this should be a obvious sign.

4) Ask for a snapshot of the underneath sole. Fakes will have missing square rubber studs, and also misaligned rubber stubs. Compare with a original snapshot.

5) If you happen to receive a pair and and unsure whether they are authentic then simply wear them and it will be instantly obvious. Originals are bouncy and the fakes are very solid and hard. You could even ask seller to try this out for you, its a obvious sign and they dont need wearing into to become bouncy and are at a pressurised level when manufactured.

6) The fakes I have seen are not even the right size as they should be, I have seen a size 8 but the cut seems to be around 7. So this can be checked/compared too.

Fake/replica Nike 360's are very good copies on the face of the shoe, but by using the above and digging a little deeper it becomes plain obvious as to a fake. Again the most obvious part of the shoe a cheap version cannot immitate is the classic air technology or bounce this air max 360's give.
