It's a relatively uncertain case, since the 1 year old site showing a U.S. address in the domain name info.
Nike would probably not allow an authorized dealer to use Nike in the domain name.
Prices are inline with the typical Chinese counterfeit site, though they are not spelling out 60% discounts like those sites typically show.
This site has no Contact Us page, where one hopefully, would find a phone# or address, professional businesses don't use a disposable gmail address as their sole method of communication.
This automated report giving a 0% trust mentions it's hosted in Moldova.

This is the sort of stupid paid blog network backlinks they used to manipulate search engine ranking.

Which caused the site to appear on a huge list of spammer promoted sites:

I would call it a risky site to send your money to.
The 3 basic tests you can make of an online store.
1) Check the domain name whois owner information, many of the Chinese counterfeit sites will be immediately exposed, (anything from China would be fakes.)

2) Test 2: check the Contact Us page, if there is no identifying phone# or address forget it, imagine how easily an email alone can be ignored.
3) Search the web for complaints, try Googling: "thesite.com" scam, to see if it's been submitted to fraud site registries, a site under 3 months old will not have to to be included even it deserving.
No real way of knowing, although the domain name and website is amateurish.
Also, a lot of cheap shoe selling companies are in China, if they are not distributing fakes (no copyright laws in China) your package might never arrive because customs might just not want to let it past them, or may try to charge you extra to get it.
Also, if you are not satisfied with the shoes it would mean shipping it back to China.
I did look at the site and they are not asking for anonymous payments such as Western Union, so there is a good chance of it not being a scam ... but you never know.
It probably is, but it obviously isn't Nike and I would have nowhere near as much confidence buying from there. I would probably avoid.
no not at all
