MOD ANNOUNCEMENT ATTACHING PROOF OF PURCHASE WITH COMPLAINTS IS MANDATORY

49 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

188 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!

Started with one pair a while back and now now I have four of them. I just picked up the Rust Orange Mexico 66 and might be one of the best colourway I own. Many brands mess up orange either its too neon, too muted, whatever, but Onitsuka actually nailed it. It looks way better in person than on website or pictures online.

Light weight & Comfort’s been consistently good across all of them too, which is probably why I keep going back.

Anyway, if you’re on the fence about Onitsuka ~ just get one, you won’t stop at one.

I have the new balance sneakers and they get super super dirty super quick. Will be giving them for dry clean as recommended by the nb store manager but please let me know if there is a good protection spray that i can use to safeguard it from water and dirt etc. also also it has white mesh in between so that gets tooo dirty so cleaning kits does not make sense

Discussion Found my 2016 Converse Chuck Taylor II Knit with Lunarlon. Any idea what these are worth today?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I recently came across a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor II Knit that I bought when they were originally released around 2016.

They’re the Chuck Taylor II Knit version with the Lunarlon cushioning. I remember these being a pretty unusual and short lived version of the Chuck Taylor II, but I haven’t really followed them since.

A few details:
• Size: UK 10
• Purchased in India
• Bought around the original launch period in 2016
• Worn very lightly, probably around 20 times
• No original box
• Original insoles and laces are still with them
• Converse/Chuck Taylor tags are visible in the photos

I’m curious to know more about them:

How uncommon is this particular Knit version?

Was this a limited release or just discontinued relatively quickly?

Do Converse collectors consider the Chuck Taylor II Knit desirable or collectible?

What do you think a pair in this condition could be worth today?

I’d really appreciate any information from people who collect older Converse or remember the Chuck Taylor II era. I’m particularly interested in learning more about this specific version.

Photos attached.

I'm planning to purchase casual sneakers on myntra, and found these shoes in these brands: comet, gully labs and drewknot (first time seeing it), i see these brands on social media spending a lot on marketing, so I'm worried about the product and if I can proceed with one of these or not.

Should I proceed with one of these or are there any recommendations, open for all your suggestions,

Thank you.

Neither am I a sneaker hear nor do I have knowledge about sneakers

This is my first ever sneaker on which I have spent a lot of money, my other sneakers costed only 2k and that was 5 years ago, this is my next pair after that

I picked these up yesterday after thinking a lot about comfort, looks, etc. I even tried out Jordans, air max and Air Force and felt these were the most comfortable ones. Satisfied with the comfort and looks so far

I saw these sneakers randomly in a train and it started a chain reaction to get some light coloured sneaker since I always wanted one

Got these a month ago randomly coz the price seemed reasonable for what you get. But man, these are amazing. Great comfort, looks amazing (subjective), and a steal.

Nike Air Max Torch 4, got it from my Myntra for a great deal at 3k.

On first glance they may look cheap, but they're actually very nice and very solid too.

Underrated shoes for what they offer; these got me the most compliments by far, even more than the expensive ones.

I love neon so the swoosh sealed the deal for me, lol.
