    If I were buying, I would only buy stuff like Nike from the official website www.nike.com or a trusted retailer that has a bricks and mortar shop.

    If you do a google search for reviews of the site you'll come up with this, so I would advise against using it.

    If you have to ask if its fake, it usually is. Best avoid.

    99% sure it was fake by the name alone.

    You can check old threads which list the usual checks.

    Go straight to "contact us"

    no actual bricks & mortar address, so likely dodgy.

    contact info
    Customers service Email: support@servicestore.co
    TEL: (334) 218-4845

    generic looking, search the phone number using "quotes" in google make it look for exact phrases/strings of numbers. Scam alerts right away

    Stupidly big reductions.

    There are never large reductions on current season branded sportswear, anywhere, ever. Anywhere claiming such is inherently fake.

    Probably a front store for replica makers in China.If you're after bargains just use https://s.taobao.com/search?q=nike&type=p&tmhkh5=&spm=a21wu.241046-global.a2227oh.d100&from=sea_1_searchbutton&catId=100&cps=yes&cat=50470026, set up an account, pay with your card, if you have any problems contact their customer support and you will get refunded. I have been using them for the last few years, never had one issue. The quality of replica shoes/clothes is as good as the real thing, don't let anyone tell you any differnt.

    utterly ludicrous & moronic comment, at least I got a giggle out of it though...

    You just don't know, keep believing.What you wrote might be true years ago, but not in 2017. I can buy sneakers similar quality/material and identical design to the originals, it's not hard considering that the 'replicas' come from the same makers as the originals, I grabbed a random video on youtube that explains the exact situation now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibFALTbL6HU ... no difference in 2017.

    You said "The quality of replica shoes/clothes is as good as the real thing",

    You did not say "The quality of replica shoes/clothes CAN BE as good as the real thing", which I would agree with, and it would be just as ridiculous to say it is impossible.

    Replicas/fakes can in some cases be better than the real thing, e.g. I had fake t shirts which lasted longer than ones of the same brand, some are out of the same factory etc.
