Misc I need new shoes. Would you pull the trigger on this?

CoMoChief · 12-21-2013, 06:44 PM

I know there have been multiple posts/threads about knock off Chiefs jerseys that are made out of China or somewhere over there. I bought one (before the new Nike jerseys came out) and I was surprisingly happy with the results. Got an Eric Berry jersey and other than the AFL LH patch being a little small compared to the real NFL merchandise, it's a great jersey for the price I paid for it ($22). I think it was tarajersey.com or something like that.

Anyways...I'm in the market for purchasing new sneakers. I make them last usually being that I only purchase a new pair once every 3-4 yrs. I've been shopping around...looking on amazon and other online stores. Went to the mall Xmas shopping for other people and stopped in places like Finish Line, Champs, went to Dick's. I really like these Nike Air Max shoes.

Here's the problem...call me a cheap bastard but the retail price on these shoes is anywhere from $140 - $180 (can you believe that shit? $90 per shoe?!?! - I remember when $90 was expensive for a pair of shoes).

So I do a google search for "cheap nike air max shoes" and come up to this site.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-c...19851.html?s=p

Here they have the same shoe (or what appears to be) $65. Save an extra $5 if I use a MC credit card to place the order. The only bad thing? It "can" take up to 27 days to receive my order. I read the return policy which I'm fine with...but let's be honest that's a giant pain in the ass.

This is the same kinda deal like the jersey. This company I believe is based out of Hong Kong. I would hope it's a real Nike product and not some knock off cheap pos which I'm almost beginning to think it is. At least w/ the jerseys you could see the picture and if you're a die hard fan you can tell that they were knockoffs just by what the picture looks like. In this case I can't tell. I know that most Nike shoes are made over there in that area by 5yr old slave children. Other than Chiefs jerseys...have any of you bought shoes online like this?

Never from any place like this.

The shoes on that site are fakes.

**Baby Lee** · 12-21-2013, 06:49 PM

Real Air Maxes are worth shopping high and low for, and/or waiting a bit for if necessary.

Does the Olathe Outlet Mall have a Nike Store. I got some Air Maxes [3 pair] at St. Louis Mills for $40 a pair when they had a seasonal closeout.

Dumbass.

The Nike outlet down at the Legends usually has good deals on running shoes. Got some AM90s for 50.

**penguinz** · 12-21-2013, 07:00 PM

3-4 years on sneakers? Do you only wear them a few days a year?

Al Bundy · 12-21-2013, 07:01 PM

Fake shoes on that site. However, I do have the orange Air Max shoes like the white ones you mentioned and they are great.

haha...from about mid March to Oct I'm a sandals guy if the weather is cooperative.

I have a couple pears of sketchers I normally wear.

Yeah I don't wear sneakers a whole lot unless I'm working out. And i have a designated pair for that already.

I bought some Air Max's back in 2010 and up until about a couple months ago they were in excellent shape.

Go to Gary Gribbles and get your Gait tested and then let them bring you shoes. Thats the best way to get a shoe that is made just for you that is completely comfortable.

**007** · 12-21-2013, 08:49 PM

I buy all my shoes from www.roadrunnersports.com
