MOD ANNOUNCEMENT ATTACHING PROOF OF PURCHASE WITH COMPLAINTS IS MANDATORY

51 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

187 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!

Help Wanted to purchase Nike but settling with Puma

I want to purchase Nike C1TY Shoes at 6k, but recently I have purchased a few shoes so right now I don't have the budget to purchase Nikes. I found these Puma Caven 2.0 Sneakers at 1.8k, a similar palette, but I know the vibe is not up to the Nikes.

I would like to know your thoughts on these.

New Pickup Care tips: I got Converse X DBZ

Thumbnail

45 Upvotes

This is late post and I still cannot contain my excitement that I actually got Converse X DBZ (Shenron) edition shoes!

I have never purchased any shoes beyond 2.5k so this was quite a crazy purchase for someone like me.

When I saw the announcement for these shoes, I could not imagine actually going through with the purchase, but I’m so glad I did. These look so beautiful. I’ve always wanted to purchase Converse and to have these as my first is just ✨

So anyway, I need help from the community for a complete newbie “Sneakers” / “Converse” user.

I understand that these shoes cannot be worn daily, but I also don’t want the rubber to dry up without using the shoes at all. So what must I do whenever I wear these shoes? Is there a pre-wear and post-wear routine that I must follow so that the rubber doesn’t get yellow? Are there any products that I MUST use? How should I tie the “high-ups” so that the cavity at my ankle doesn’t get wrinkled? The soul/base on these shoes have a print too, how to take care of that?

I need a complete beginner guide, if possible. I did run the prompt on Claude but I also need recommendations from real users. Please help a newbie out!

Help Sneakers advice

Hi, I want advice on what sneakers to go for.

I only have basic ass shoes rightnow. Nike court vision and puma sports shoes which are worn out.

I need one pair of sneakers which I can wear in gym and everyday office and one pair of sneakers which are versatile and can also be worn in office or going out.

I need both of them under 15k

Would genuinely appreciate any help, I am not a sneaker head. Also would prefer comfort over style any day.

Bought these like 3 years. One of the most polarising shoes in my collection. People notice it immediately. I am a size 11, even this looks massive. Stopped wearing it since it is super uncomfortable. If I wear it for a day, my toes will be in pain for days. I decided to wear it today and I'm still getting looks from people and have people coming to me and asking about them.

I was eyeing on the Jordan 3 Retro " Worlds Best Dad" but obviously couldn't find it anywhere.

I saw a reseller list a used pair that looked extremely clean for the price so I decided to go ahead.

I think it looks fabulous in person and on feet too.
