Kirti Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Can someone explain how does the QR code works in shoes. I scanned the QR of the shoes I received (nike) and it takes me to the website of nike but does not show the specific product details. So does that make it an original product ?

I mean the QR for Nike does take you to their official website that is what it is supposed to do it sometimes will ask you to download their app or join their membership but faking a QR is very easy so difficult to say if it is fake or not just on the basis of the QR code.

QR code/Serial Number means nothing. One can copy a QR/SN from an original and then paste it on 1000 copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, most of the shoes I have bought from FK have been genuine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pair from FK and another from the new balance store and they are perfectly identical. If they are so perfectly identical that everything from the ride, etc is the same then But yeah most of the my purchases have been expensive shoes from NB or other unpopular brands like Saucony, Mizuno etc Edited May 11, 2023 by abhi90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saucony for sure does not have any fakes specially their premium running shoes like Endorphin Speed/Tempus etc. Their fakes simply dont exist because it is very niche. NB has fakes for their fashion models or basic models again their premium running models not so much. I have been a very happy FK customer for these shoes because the deal is almost always brilliant and FK is a runners delight. How can the fakes have the exact same ride and foam ? Those are patented technologies and impossible to copy. I am 100% sure a runner will know from the cushioning and impact if the shoes are fake. Heck, 300-400 kms later my NB and Saucony are still going strong from FK no glue issues no stitching issues. Yes you can make fake shoes that can look exactly the same but perform exactly the same is something I don't think is possible. I think we are good with niche shoes and brands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Channu Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Okay lemme put it, I've worked in apparel sector for a long period of time and during this I've liaised with Ecom retailers like FK, Myntra & Amazon while working with apparel manufacturing brand(including shoe companies). As long as I was in the that sector (Until late 2016) there were no formal way of limiting an ecom retailer to stick with 'our discount' model. It's only on a mutual basis/ best effort basis. Legally if the brand tries to arm-twist the ecom portal or threatens to discontinue supply based on this, it will constitute an offence. Second, there are supply of kinda inferior shoes (not necessarily inferior but certainly corners cut in manufacturing) , produced in India or at some other low cost center and ecom retailers bulk buy these styles as their bread and butter model. Even in stores you have sections where shoes will be economical/heavily discounted but workmanship/quality will be a tad off. Look at the merchandise on lower shelves. Third, over a period of time, old style SKUs get accumulated and they are sent to factory outlet/smaller trade outlet shops in smaller cities/ around highways at a throw away price sometimes in flat rate against number of pairs/weight. Cost per pair in these lot can be as low as Rs 300 a pair against something that might be marked at 6K or even higher. Fourth, its only third party resellers that will have fakes and there's a very very slim probability of fakes making into official seller's inventory unless it gets mixed up at some warehouse/ staff collusion which isn't that common or at a scale which can be perceived to be serious problem. I haven't been in this sector for long time but if needed I can get further clarification if someone is curious. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSpymaster Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 What's the best way to spend 1.5k on Amazon? Got a shopping voucher for free, and this cannot be used via Amazon pay (otherwise would've paid outside Amazon). Anything random like a car accessory, minor electronic items, something weird you bought before in this price range? Any random suggestion will do lol.
