Shoe counterfeiters are notoriously difficult to stop, but an unlikely solution is emerging—and it’s inspired by cryptocurrencies.
Every year, as much as $100 million in counterfeit sneakers is seized by U.S. customs alone. And that’s just scratching the surface: Worldwide, counterfeit fashion is estimated to be a $600 billion industry, and if U.S. customs figures are accurate, about 40% of all counterfeit goods are sneakers. That makes counterfeit kicks a $240 billion problem to sneaker makers like Nike, Adidas, Converse, and more.

You embrace technology popularized by Bitcoin to create 3-D printed smart tags that can track any pair of the new Greats x Beastmode 2.0 Royale Chukkah sneakers back to the factory—and which are impossible to fake.

And this project was different: Unlike everything else built in Moog’s factory, this device wouldn’t be for sale.
Here’s how to back out of a commitment when you actually do want to reschedule—and when you don’t.
