Kicks Online has a fascinating article about a shoes ‘fingerprint’, or the 1 x 1 square you can find under the tongue of just about any pair of Nike shoes. I’ve glanced at this tag a thousand times but never thought about what it might contact. How about what factory it was produced in? Korea? Italy? Japan? Production dates, types of sample, product codes, and much more. It’s all explained over at KicksOnline– now someone just needs to start a tracking database based on this information so people can show off and compare their collections! Via Hypebeast
