The rise of sneaker culture, all over the world, has a huge impact on the sneakers market. Many people have started buying and are jumping on the sneakers hunting season. You may want to jump on the trend quickly but be aware that this new trend is also bringing some people with wack intentions. It is no longer a secret that there is a specific industry specialized in creating a counterfeit and replica of some famous sneaker brands. An honest seller will come straight from the beginning to tell you if their products are original or not. There are many limited editions of sneakers that are floating around in a flea market or preloved sale. The problem is not all sellers in the market are being truthful with what they said. They will do anything that they can and sugar coat their words to scam your money. You have to be careful and learn some tips or tricks before you make your next purchase. Even if you are willing to buy the sneakers from eBay, Amazon, or any unofficial distributor shop, pay attention to the details even to the smallest things like the golden yellow shoelaces.

Do Research Before Buying

Good research will save your money from buying fake items. In many cases, the sellers can easily scam the potential customer because of the lack of information about the item that they want to buy. They do not know how to identify original sneakers and easily jump into a false conclusion. They just blindly believe anything that the seller says and assume that it may be something different.

If you are looking into specific collection or sneaker type, do a little research of the basic specifications. You can check video reviews, read information from the official brand’s website, or maybe do some consultation with other sneaker collectors. They will give you some suggestions that can help you in your upcoming purchase. Original sneakers will have a neat stitch, precise details, and original box. Some of the preloved or flea market items may not have the original box so you need to check the sneaker details more carefully. Do not believe any of the seller's too-good-to-be-true promises before checking it on your own.

Double Check the Previous Customer Reviews

A reputable seller will have a good list of satisfied customers. If you are not really experienced in the sneakers hunting game, it will save you from any kind of trouble if you buy from a well-known seller first. You might have to pay some extra bucks, but you will have a sense of satisfaction that you shopped safely and got the original pair. You can examine their customer reviews to see how they handle the shipping details, product quality or even the complaints from customers. A good seller will always take the whole responsibility for any feedback if there is any issue. You can test their customer service response and see how they treat you as their customer.

Be Aware of The Payment System

In many cases, the fake seller might not accept credit cards. They always prefer cash or another payment method. When you pay by credit card you can always track back your transactions and sue the sellers if anything goes wrong. Be careful and always double check everything before paying.

Pay Attention to Any Fake Promises

The funny thing about this massive counterfeit market is that they always have a new creative way of making up any sneakers design that never existed in the market. They will trick your mind and make you think like you are special. Do not fall into the trap of fake promises. Always double check with the authorized sneaker shops and check the originality. The original sneakers will always have a code to track on. The seller may say that the sneakers are custom designed and limited edition. Trust us, they are not. Also, make sure the golden yellow shoelaces you buy are from a trustworthy supplier. Consider buying no tie laces to complement your sneakers and you can wear them every day in no time.
