Hi, Ling here.👋  
   
Today I'm comparing the Chanel gradient double C logo chunky running sneakers from A+ Factory with the auth.  
   
These have been getting a lot of attention, and overall the similarity is solid. From a normal distance, you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart. But there are several differences in the finer details. I zoomed in and went through them side by side.  
   
**A+ Factory product info:**  
   
· Heel height: 3.5 cm  
· Upper: breathable mesh + calfskin paneling  
· Lining: breathable composite fabric  
· Sizes: 35–40  
· Price: $130 USD (shipped)

Let's break it down by mesh, sole, toe, double C logo, heel, and stitching.  
   
**1. Upper mesh**  
The A+ mesh has larger, more open holes. The auth mesh is tighter with finer weaving.  
   
**2. Lace area**  
· The stitching spacing is wider on the auth.   
· The auth side diamond pattern has a larger frame with smaller internal grid details. · · The lace eyelet double C logo is cleaner and more refined on the auth.  
   
**3. Side double C and stitching**  
· The auth stitching is tighter and more even.   
· The side double C logo is horizontally longer, while the A+ version is wider.   
· The auth trim grooves are narrower, and the side lettering is more compact.  
   
**4. Outsole pattern**  
The A+ outsole tread blocks are slightly smaller than the auth.  
   
**5. Heel opening**  
· The auth heel opening has a deeper, more pronounced U‑shape curve.   
· The inner seam stitching on the A+ heel is more visible.   
· The auth heel logo stamp is deeper and wider horizontally.

Overall  
For everyday wear, these are more than enough. From a distance, you won't spot any issues. Solid choice if you're looking for good value. If you're obsessive about tiny details, these are the spots to pay attention to.
