“Focus on the E”: Mzansi Doubtful After Woman Buys Legit Nike Dunks From Shein

• A young woman on TikTok shared that she bought herself a pair of Nike Dunks from the online retailer Shein
• When she removed the sneakers from the box, the TikTok user shared her excitement and compared them to a pair she bought at Sportscene
• While some people on the internet did not see anything wrong with her purchase, others thought the shoes were dupes

The online marketplace Shein is sometimes viewed as a fast-fashion discount store that can sell name-brand dupes. This might explain why some people hesitated to believe that a woman who bought Nike sneakers from the store received the real deal.
