What is unauthorized authentic?

Published in Sneaker Authenticity 1 min read

Unauthorized Authentic (UA) refers to sneakers that are made using the same materials and production methods as authentic sneakers but are produced and sold without the brand's permission. In simpler terms, they are very high-quality replicas.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Genuine Materials: UA sneakers often use the same or very similar materials to the official product.
  • Production Methods: These sneakers are often produced using similar or identical manufacturing processes.
  • Unauthorized: The key difference is that the brand whose design is being replicated has not authorized the production or sale of these items.

Therefore, while they may appear and even feel like the real thing, purchasing UA sneakers does not support the original brand and may violate trademark laws.
