100% scam.
That is a fake website pretending to sell cheap merchandise.
Any site that advertises merchandise cheaper than the official manufacture's website is a fake site shipping gosh awful crappy knock-offs or simply collecting cash and not even bothering to ship fakes.
The pictures on the site look like the real merchandise because those pictures ARE of the official merchandise. Those pictures were stolen from the official manufacture's website. If you receive anything at all, which is doubtful, it will not resemble those pretty pictures at all.
The payment options say it all, Western Union and moneygram. The credit card icons are just there for show, that site does not accept credit cards, only anonymous cash payments.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
In all seriousness, when something goes wrong, what will you do? Send an email that is ignored and blocked? Send chat requests until you are ip banned? Call internationally and speak fluent Chinese?
The UPS, TNT and DHL icons are there only to take up space, that site only ships with EMS, the Chinese post office, good luck getting the "tracking number" they give you to work on the EMS website. You will need even more luck trying to contact EMS when your tracking stops and your "package" is lost somewhere.
You could then be really lucky, your "package" is discovered, seized by "customs" and all you need to do is pay even more money via Western Union or moneygram to the "custom's official" who uses a free email address just like that site has a free email address as its contact information.
Free email addresses are easy to open and close completely anonymously.
Hello Lady NWA,
Hmmm, it's really hard to directly label if a certain website is legitimate or not, but it seems to have a very poor reputation in terms of trustworthiness, reliability, and privacy.
Anyway, I still did a little bit of research because whenever I'm unsure of a site's reputation and identity, I use a totally cool, free website rating tool - http://verify1st.com/. Unfortunately, http://verify1st.com/cheapnikeairmax.net doesn't have any details yet. Perhaps it'll be indexed on the next release.
Here are some more information that I found:
1) The domain's details through http://www.whois.com/whois/cheapnikeairm... states that the business is relatively new. It started last 12-Feb-2012 and will expire on 12-Feb-2013. (It's quite short so transaction involves high risk)
2) In addition, popularity ranking through http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/cheapnikea... shows NO DATA at all and there are only 20 sites linking into the website. (This is another indication of being a high-risk relationship because if your business is viable, someone will know about you and links in to your site.)
3) In terms of web security, it may not have been blacklisted yet - http://rbls.org/cheapnikeairmax.net - but it hasn't been in existence for so long to not get into trouble, right? Also, other reputation tools still haven't even tested their site yet despite being in the business for almost 1 year already. Quite odd, don't you think?
4) Upon checking their site, they don't even have an About Us page as well as physical address and valid contact numbers. These are very odd behavior and are consistent with scammers. Perhaps you can try to inquire through the message box and see if someone replies.
Bottom line, all these don't automatically make them scammers but they're not risk-free either! I strongly suggest you to be extra vigilant before getting into a transaction with them. It's still up to you if you're willing to take a risk. You may get what you ordered but it may not be the exact quality that you expect it to be or worse, you don't receive anything at all.
Anyway, since you're buying gifts for your parents, why not purchase from a physical store instead? At least you can guarantee genuineness and warranty.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Those are cheap Chinese fakes

You can tell by the name. Nike.com is the ONLY site selling real Nikes that is allowed to use the term Nike in it's domain name. Any other site is actually breaking the law - -it's trademark infringement and they are NEVER selling authentic Nikes
Same with any other Nike trademark. Any site you find using any Nike trademark - Nike, Jordan, Air Max, Yeezy, etc, etc -- is NEVER a legitimate site unless it's Nike.com
REAL Nikes cost 20-30% MORE in China due to taxes.
There are maybe 100 websites selliing real Nikes and tens of thousands selling fakes. NEVER buy from any site unless it's Nike.com or a reputable retailer like Footlocker, Zappos, Macys, etc
Seems legit to me. However, they doesn't have any physical address listed.
I'd suggest you to look in Nike's official web store.
For christmas this year i was going to get my mom and dad shoes for Christmas and i want you to tell me if you think this website is legit www.cheapnikeairmax.net
