The 6 Best Places To Buy Authentic Jordans Sneakers

Last month, a friend of mine was planning to buy a pair of authentic Jordan sneakers so he asked me to do a little research on the market and find him some stores that could offer him the shoes and maybe save him a few bucks in the process.

As a result, I took the initiative to write this article to give you guys at least some guidance towards reliable websites that sell them, so you can combine it with your own research and find the sneakers that fit your style best at a reasonable price.

So, I present to you some of the best online stores where you can buy authentic Air Jordans. Let’s get into details…

The best places to buy authentic Jordans are:

• Amazon
• Nike
• Foot Locker
• eBay
• YankeeKicks
• StockX

Amazon

With years of experience, Amazon is as reliable as an e-commerce marketplace can be. You can find a wide variety of Jordan sneakers here. However, beware of sellers who might try to sell you non-authentic versions.

This is, in my opinion, the main negative of stores like Amazon when you try to buy authentic items. So, make sure you check out the reviews of the products before you buy them just to make sure you know what they are selling and how credible they are.

The other very minor issue that you might face is that they don’t accept payments from PayPal so if you are like me and prefers PayPal over credit cards then you are in no luck.

Other than that, I don’t expect you to face any other major difficulties. They ship worldwide, and if anything goes wrong, you can use their A-Z Guarantee. Keep in mind that their customer service is not as great as it used to be in previous years so you could possibly face some issues in that regard.

Nike

In this list, I would safely say that Nike is surely the most trustworthy store to buy authentic Jordans from.

Michael Jordan signed his deal with Nike back in 1984 and the Jordan brand started as part of Nike as a subsidiary, however, nowadays the brand has its own identity. You won’t have any problem whatsoever buying from them and you won’t have to worry about getting fake sneakers.

Their supported payment methods are Credit Cards, PayPal, Klarna, and Gift Cards. It’s important to mention that they currently offer shipping only within the US and to APO/FPO addresses.

They do not offer international shipping, but if you happen to live outside of the US, you can shop on nike.com in a number of countries or regions globally and ship globally by using a package forwarder.

Foot Locker

Foot Locker is an American retailer of athletic footwear and sportswear which was founded in 1974. Its headquarters are in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is a very well-known company with a large collection of sneakers. You can buy your Jordans from there for a pretty decent price in my opinion.

They are known for selling authentic sneakers only over the years so you can rest assured they are very legit. Additionally, they offer you Free Shipping on specific orders and a 28 Days Return Policy.

They ship internationally and they accept all the main payment methods except for PayPal. Overall, it’s a great retailer for you to get your Jordan sneakers.

eBay

Someone would think that eBay faces the same issue as Amazon of having some not-so-reliable sellers, but the case is quite different here. eBay offers you what they call an Authenticity Guarantee for sneakers (https://pages.ebay.com/authenticity-guarantee-sneakers-seller).

Therefore, things just get very simple all of a sudden. They have professionals inspect the sneakers before they get sold to make sure that they are 100% authentic. If, for some reason, you receive a non-authentic version of Jordans you can immediately return them.

They are well-known for having cheap used sneakers but also brand-new ones from verified and highly trusted sellers.

The company has stated that “most sellers on eBay are happy to ship everything to you in the same package if you’re buying multiple items from them, so you might also get a shipping discount because the seller saves money by combining items.”

They support a lot of payment methods, such as PayPal, credit/debit cards, bank transfers, Google Pay, and Apple Pay.

Their Money Back Guarantee and Top Rated Sellers can make sure you have a great experience buying from them. In general, eBay will almost always side with the buyer if things go wrong, so you are safe.

YankeeKicks

Established in 2015, YankeeKicks might be smaller than the companies I previously mentioned, but they similarly have a great collection of Jordan sneakers at their disposal, although there isn’t as much variety.

They launched their store in 2018 and they also have a blog section with articles on how to distinguish Real sneakers from Fake ones. I checked their customer reviews and they are pretty decent overall.

They offer 100% authentic sneakers with free shipping on all orders over $99 and they ship globally. If you are interested in buying from them, they support all the major payment options.

Unfortunately, YeankeeKicks doesn’t offer any reconditioned items. So, you are missing some major opportunities to save even more money.

StockX

StockX is an online marketplace that allows users to buy and sell various types of items from around the world. With their wide selection, you can find just about any pair of Jordans you could want, including rare models and limited editions.

It’s similar to other auction sites such as eBay. There are two main ways to buy sneakers on StockX; either by bidding or by buying them instantly at “Buy Now” prices. The Buy Now prices vary depending on the shoe and how much time remains until the end of the auction.

In terms of pricing, it’s one of the cheaper ones and their bidding system helps a lot with that if you can find great sneakers with low bidding that ends early. The only thing that I would like this store to have is the option to buy authentic refurbished.

Although this store has multiple sellers, they treat them with a lot of strictness to ensure that you may purchase with total trust. In general, they manage everything.

Their customer support is more than decent with a rating of 3.9/5 on TrustPilot. That’s pretty impressive since having very good reviews as a retailer with a bidding system is much harder.

Final Thoughts

The bottom line is that you need to stick to trusted sites and make sure that you are receiving a legitimate product. The last thing anyone wants while shopping on the Internet is to be stuck with a pair of fakes that they cannot return or get any support with.

Just be smart about how you shop for them. I really hope this article was helpful to you. Let me know in the comments down below which stores you would like to see on this list. Until then, stay safe, everyone!!
