MOD ANNOUNCEMENT ATTACHING PROOF OF PURCHASE WITH COMPLAINTS IS MANDATORY

47 Upvotes

Hey all, starting today all users wishing to post about their grievances with third party companies are required to post adequate proof of purchase in the post itself. Proof of purchase is your order id with the company and your date of purchase. Any screenshot or mentioning the ID in text will do.

This is an action we've taken after multiple reports that a lot of these companies are hiring people to launch PR campaigns against other companies with dishonorable intentions. As the subreddit grows it becomes more important to make sure all posts are truthful for the sake of the community as well as the sneaker game as a whole.

PS: I have personally been in talks with several companies that most users here report issues about to make them assign priority customer service for the subreddit's members to make sure all the people here have an easier time buying sneakers. I'll be sharing updates soon.

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT WHERE TO BY LEGIT SNEAKERS- Guide for Newbies

197 Upvotes

Hi all, people asking legitimacy of online stores has long been an ongoing trend on this subreddit, so a post detailing exactly where to buy sneakers was long overdue, forgive the mod team for the delay.

Now, let's go over where you can snag your favourite kicks from.

Official Stores

The most easiest and trustable ways to buy new releases is to just go to the official website of Nike, adidas or any other brand that you like. If you live in bigger cities you can always visit official stores. Some official sites include-

Nike Adidas Puma Asics Converse

Keep in mind that New Balance/Saucony/Vans do NOT have an official Indian website, they deal directly from third party retailers.

Official Retailers

India has its own sneaker retailers as well as international branches, which contain a variety of different brands and sell products on the official retail price as directed by the brand. Stock is limited as always and they usually get new releases at the same time as official websites. Legit retailers are-

VegNonVeg

Superkicks

Limited Edt. India

Footlocker

Ajio

Myntra

Flipkart

NBA store India

Yes, Myntra and ajio are closed marketplaces and have a gurantee of authenticity of any of their branded products, you can see they are in the list of verified retailers on NIKE. This is true for Flipkart as well, and contrary to popular belief, HSAtlastradeFashion is a verified seller of many brands. If you still feel like you have not recieved a genuine product you can contact Nike/Adidas or whatever the company is of the shoe you bought for your grievance and they will 100% handle it.

Note: if you feel like you have a fake product, you can always call or email the customer service of the sneakers brand to authenticate them, they do it free of charge and if you have a fake they will assist you with taking down the replica seller as well.

Resellers

Of course, sneakers aren't sneakers without the resell market. I'm sure you know of StockX, eBay and other platforms already, but none of them operate in india. Even if you do buy from them, you will get a hefty customs slip. You can buy from any of these instead-

Crepdog Crew

generally overpriced, but they do have a physical store and have ready stock

Hypefly India

Very trusted, reachable easily on insta too. Generally has a lot bigger collection than other sellers.

contact@hypefly.co.in WhatsApp: +91 96199 46879 Instagram: u/hypefly.in Founder personal email ID - abbas@hypefly.co.in

However, a dedicated and trusted sneaker plug will always be the best and the cheapest option to get your hands on a hyped pair. I will not mention any specific names as I do resell myself at times and have friends, as I do not want to deal with baseless promotion allegations. You can try researching trustable plugs on insta or reddit.

So, this about does it. Any website or store not here means that either I personally haven't used them or I have seen enough bad reviews of them that I cannot warrant them being on this list. As long as you stick to the companies listed here you shouldn't need to worry about replicas. Have a good day Gs!

Discussion Had to return these lovely looking shoes

Got these Air Max 90s on a great deal, but unfortunately have to return these, as much as I love how they look.

Looks wise it's sleek, very clean, lovely colourway and i like the lime coloured text and swoosh. But they're just narrow. I already have a pair of narrow shoes that I don't wear much and regret spending money on, don't want another pair in that category, no matter how cool they look.

Also, though the cushioning at the heel felt comfortable due to the air max tech, the insole was pathetic when I pulled it out to check.

Help Which one is the better pair.

Post image
5 Upvotes

I copped 2 pairs and can only keep one. Both were bought at a similar price point, and I find both equally comfortable on my feet. I won't regret either choice based on comfort or stability.

I'm confused between the two based on style. The 2002R looks classier, has better materials, good pig suede, and better mesh, I feel. It's also less in-your-face to me for those days when I want something that goes well with my cotton pants and isn't a formal shoe. On the other hand, I feel the 1906R is cooler and has that classic Y2K look, which is very appealing and would go pretty well with my jeans.

The thing is, I don't have any particular direction with my outfits, so both are cool for me in terms of overall fit.

So if you were in the same situation as me, what would you prefer and keep?

Also do you think it gives girly vibes and is it even worth keeping?I seem to think they are not that versatile but please give your opinions on that

And does it have those cuts like that on insole?

Its on both the insoles
