The original Ozweego landed in July 1996 as a lightweight running shoe for training and competition, with adiPRENE cushioning in the forefoot. Between 1997 and 1998, the Ozweego 2 took over, retaining adiPRENE but with a slightly updated upper. From 1998 to 1999, the Ozweego 3 arrived with the addition of Torsion in the midsole. Lastly, the final Ozweego 4 was on shelves between 1999 and 2000 as a culmination of the best of the previous models.

Depending on your age, geographic location and nostalgic memory bank, cultural reference points for the Ozweego could span anywhere from 1996 to 2019. Newschoolers will have Raf Simons front of mind, while OG heads know the ‘Weegz’ from its days as an adidas staple in the late-90s, a creatively fertile period where panel-heavy aesthetics personified sports style.

With chunky footwear on fire across the last few seasons, adidas have revisited the Ozweego nameplate, lacing it with a modern makeover to bring everything up to contemporary spec. Unlike the countless retro rehashes out there in the sneakerweb, the new-gen design is equal-parts nostalgic and progressive, but we’ll cross that metaphorical bridge in more detail later. From the 1 to the 5 – and the beautiful behemoth that is the Ozweego Millennium – this Sneaker Freaker guide to the Ozweego will set you straight. If you know you know, but if you don’t, get ready for a little history lesson.

For the first step of the guide on how to spot fake Raf Ozweego Bunny sneakers, we are going to have a look at the size tag inside the fake vs real Raf Ozweego Bunny sneakers.

As we’ve mentioned at the beginning of this guide on how to spot fake Raf Ozweego Bunny, we consider the size tag as the ultimate factor of authenticity, and once again, we recommend that you always check the size tag first.

Looking at the reference fake vs real Ozweego Bunny image above, you can see how the fake shoes have their “US UK FR JP CHN” text looking too thin.

On the other hand, the authentic Ozweegos have their text looking thicker than what it looks like on the fake Ozweegos.
