The shoes had options to play music and different coloured LED lighting on the heels. The customer claimed to loathe his vibrant purchase and threatened to never support the online Chinese store again:
“I will never buy from Temu again.”
Social media users opposed his rant by raving about the shoe and showing interest in buying it soon rather than spending a fortune on the designer version at a Balenciaga store.
The video generated eight million views in a couple of days.
