It’s no secret that there are a gazillion kinds of counterfeit shoes out there.
But, just because you see an odd looking pair of branded shoes does not mean that they are fakes.
A Taiwanese netizen took to the ●【爆廢公社】● Facebook group, as reported by Noodou, to share their shock to discover a primary school student wearing a pair of Nike shoes, that initially looked odd due to the Nike logo being backwards, which costs a whopping 45,000 TWD (RM4,554).
They wrote, “Do parents these days dote on their children so much? Wait, he’s still a primary school student!”
In their post, the netizen decided to find the shoes online to check the price.
The netizen did a quick search and revealed that the pair of sneakers worn by the primary school student is a collaborative model by Nike’s AIR JORDAN series with the American rapper Travis Scott.
Many took to the post to share their initial belief that the shoes were a counterfeit due to the Nike logo being backwards.
“Is it possible that it’s a Taobao version?” one commenter asked. Another said, “There’s a lot of fake stuff, so don’t take this seriously.”
Though, the shoes may very much be an authentic pair of Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Reverse Mocha’, which are currently being sold by online stores for upwards of RM7,399.
