Fake, counterfeit, variant or replica Nike shoes and many other brand name products are a huge problem in general. Everyone loses in the long run because the basis of counterfeiting is deceit.
Why are fakes sold on eBay ???Athletic shoes are a huge market, and it stands to reason that some less than reputable sellers would try to cash in on it by selling fakes and variants. Most Nike shoes are actually made in Asian countries, however, the new fake shoes coming from Asia are very close reproductions in looks, but not in physical attributes and quality.
***so please play it SAFE***
i have personally seen fake nike shoes selling very cheap and crazy at one of florida malls,i have got closer to the product by visiting NIKE stores and doing some research.
authentic NIKE shoes never comes in shrink wrapped in plastic.!!!that looks so fake
before you buy a nike shoe on ebay,here is some important info to look out for
Always check the seller's feedback. Surprisingly it can sometimes be 100% positive. Do not rely solely on feedback to help you decide if a product is authentic or not. However, look closely for Neutral and Negative feedback comments.
You should always read the description and shipping terms carefully. Quite often they will state them to be authentic when the reality is they have no idea. If they are being shipped from Asia....Buyer Beware! If they are not stated as authentic, ask the seller a question.
For some bizarre reason, most sellers of fakes do not stock men's USA size 9 or size 13 and above. Also women's size 9 and above are extremely hard to come by.
Sometimes fakes will not fit true to size, but run about half a size smaller than usual. Authentic Nike shoes always run true to size.
The sole should be made from real BRS 1000 rubber. It should feel like rubber! On most fakes, the sole feels quite plastic or slippery which can be dangerous if the shoes are intended for sports use.
If you see a pair of Nike shoes on eBay and they are being sent, supplied or drop-shipped from anywhere in Asia (China, Hong Kong or the Philippines) they potentially going to be fakes.
If the seller sends their shoes from Hong Kong and/or China via EMS and state that it will take from 7-14 days or longer for you to get your order. This means that you are most likely buying fakes, and are also stuck with any possible customs fees or worse.
Do the shoes come with the box? Most Fakes won't come in their original shoe box. If the seller says there is no box just to save postage costs, this is questionable. Shoe boxes really don't weigh much at all. However, they may legitimately not have the original box.
If they do come with the shoe box, the cardboard box of many fakes may be quite flimsy, crush anf tear easily, and fallapart quickly. Authentic Nike shoe boxes are actually very sturdy.
Most importantly, all authentic Nike shoes have unique SKU style numbers. The box will have an SKU number that looks like the photos below.The SKU should be exactly the same as the SKU number on the label inside the actual shoes. If they are not exactly the same numbers, the shoes will more than likely be fak

Be very cautious who you purchase from and don't be afraid to ask questions to the seller about authenticity. It sounds elementary, but you may be surprised at the responses you receive. A naive seller may still tell you they are authentic simply because they were 'assured' they were real by the counterfeiter in Asia
. Authentic nike shoe never comes shrink in a plastic bag.
If the price seems far too good to be true then it probably is.let's be real !!!you can NOT get a Authentic hot design nike shoe for 40 50 or even 60,you may find a good deal on genuine one ,but that's not always the case.
can you belive these nike shoes and more cost $26 in asian sites **what are they made of??** tooooooo gooooooood to be true
If you are lucky enough to even receive the shoes you are going to be seriously disappointed. Although the look of some fake shoes is getting better, the quality remains the same which is horrendous. Beauty is only skin deep.
Please be aware that there are far too many fakes and really not many genuine and authentic Nike shoes. In particular, Nike Shox and Nike Air Max.if you already bought it and you are not sure,take it to Nike store and the will tell you if it's fake.
As i always say don't hesitate to ask questions and questions and research befor giving up you hard earned money .GOOD LUCK.
