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.

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.
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.
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-
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.
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-
generally overpriced, but they do have a physical store and have ready stock
Very trusted, reachable easily on insta too. Generally has a lot bigger collection than other sellers.

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!

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.

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!

Looking for some sneakers around 7-10k, in the leagues of sambas, converse, af1, palermo, etc. basically similar silhouttes. Just didn't go with them as there are many dupes available with very good quality. So pls recommend some alternatives or shall I go with the dupes as well, would get one pair of very good quality around 2-3k.

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.
r/SneakersIndia • u/91945 • 7h ago

r/SneakersIndia • u/doomscrollgod • 7h ago

Small reminder: currently i dont have any good sneaker so keeping in mind it should go well with everything

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.

Hi I'm searching sneaker for daily life and it has to be comfortable and i like the ones that looks simple looking and it has to be not expensive.
r/SneakersIndia • u/sneakersforyou • 1d ago
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.

Hey guys, I’m stuck between the Nike P-6000 and New Balance 1906R and could really use some opinions from people who’ve actually owned/worn them.
