A hilarious video of a man wearing a pair of knockoff “ENIK” shoes with a tick on the side has taken Mzansi by storm, sparking a wave of jokes and memes on social media.

The video, shared by Zipho Ntuli, captures the moment the man steps out in what appears to be a cheap imitation of the popular Nike brand, but with a twist—the brand name “ENIK”.

The label was scrawled across the back, accompanied by a tick mark on the side close enough to the real thing to be recognisable yet still far off.
