How are Nike shoes 50% off on Flipkart?
The Nike app barely gives 25% off while price tags on Nike shoes are so low on Flipkart. They do write it’s genuine and the box which comes seems pretty legit too. So how do they sell it for so low?
Doubt it. How would Nike allow that? The box looks genuine to me. Although ya the shoe probably not the freshest
I found them not be genuine as well. These sellers throw in some fakes in between the real ones and some people gets scammed. Just like me, my leg hurts, the shoe sole is super hard. Even slippers are more comfortable than these shoes.

Could be similar to brand factory where they used to sell branded clothes at lower price. This was done by selling older models which is sort of clearance sale. Did you verify if the models matched in both Nike site and Flipkart? If not it could be older models at sale
Latest launch wouldn’t be there or at discount but a year back or more have discounts more than Nike. There’s no clearance sale as such. They just sell it at far low cost.

That's what. They are selling older models at lower price similar to what brand factory used to do or does. They can negotiate discounts for selling older models at discount. Lower margin for Nike but helps them clear inventory and also storage cost of keeping it in warehouses.

The stuff available will fall in 3 categories:
i) old inventory clearance
ii) inventory which failed some minor quality check
iii) Fake
Actually these are special merchandise units developed specially for online platform. They then do a hi-low pricing on it due the preference for discount in online shopping. You will not find these in offline stores for a price compare.
1) It's in surplus i.e. rejected, refurbished, quality issues
2) It's being sold at a loss, or net zero margin by e-comm and/or reseller to fetch customers
3) It's 1st copy/used

2 ways this can happen.
1. Small sellers list and sell these items that are slightly damaged, etc.
2. Large sellers who procure in bulk pass on most of the profit to customers to grow.
You'd probably be able to differentiate with these tags like assured, apporved and what not.
Alpha (OR) Buys, 99% listings are those only, hardly any MP listings. Though Nike would be moving to MP model very soon discarding OR PAN India
