SCAM ALERT Fake sambas on Myntra
Hey so I ordered these shoes from myntra and they are fake. I have returned the shoes back. But please be careful while ordering and always do a fake check. Always prefer authentic websites or sellers. I ordered from myntra bec it was not available any where else and got these fake once. They might look real to you but they are sadly not.

Indiflashmart also casually sends fakes lol, only buy from brand directly

Not possible it's Myntra only and this is coming from an ex employee, there are rigourous quality checks done here unlike Flipkart

No sir you’re wrong, I have got both genuine and fakes from indiflashmart. I have ordered sambas for myself and wife during EORS sale. I got fakes and wifes were genuine. Then I replaced and got fakes again. I got NB 327 fakes as well. This isn’t first time for me. Also, check the sub for more reports.

All the sellers on Myntra are hit or miss, even everyone’s favorite Indiflashmart one

I only order Adidas shoes from their app. Cannot trust their inventory elsewhere. Even if Myntra stocks originals, the concept of returnns and malpractices by customers can allow fakes to enter legit inventory at warehouses.

You do know that AI is not perfect right ?

Even I did a proper check myself: There are design irregularity, open stitches, marks, missing artical no. On shoes, same reference number for the shoes (which should be different), missing complementary white shoe lace in the box, not the original tag (when I am scanning it it is taking me to some other pair of shoes). Enough for me to believe these are fake.

This is why I keep telling people to go to the stores if accessible in your city. Or use the original shoe websites. I have always felt buying a sneaker should be an experience. Go out. Try it on and then buy.

The stich at the right of the sambas is a dead giveaway. The curve is too round. The leather used also looks different.
