OLD

OK, let’s talk about OLD over on Weidian. This store is a proper sneaker hub—465 items deep, and almost all of it is shoes. If you’re hunting for Jordans, Dunks, or something like a Gazelle, this place is on your radar. The seller rating is a perfect 5.0, which sounds great, but hold on—there’s only one review total. That’s a huge red flag for a store with this much inventory. You’re basically flying blind with very little social proof, so treat that rating with a grain of salt.

The top saved items are the Air Jordan 3, Dunk Low SB, and Gazelle. The one recent review we have is for the Gazelle, and it’s genuinely positive: a buyer said they’ve been wearing them everywhere, sized down from 10.5 to 10 for a good fit, and found them surprisingly comfortable—even walked the entire Vegas strip in them. That’s a solid real-world test, so the Gazelle seems like a safe bet if you need a comfy everyday pair. But that’s the only recent review, so for the AJ3 and Dunk SB, you’re taking a leap of faith.

Now, shipping to your proxy warehouse: the average delivery time is 2.2 days, and dispatch averages 2.9 days. The store’s own dispatch SLA says “within 48 hours,” so they’re mostly hitting that, but it’s not always lightning fast. Just remember, that’s the time it takes to get to your local Chinese agent’s warehouse—not international shipping to your door. Plan for that extra leg separately.

Here’s where I have to be brutally honest: there’s 1 product with a defect record, and the store’s return rate sits in the [20%-30%) range. That’s high. One in four or five orders getting returned is not a good look. It could mean inconsistent quality control, sizing issues, or items not matching photos. Combined with the fact that you have almost zero recent feedback to rely on, I’d say this is a hit-or-miss store. If you’re set on a pair from here, use an agent that offers QC photos and be ready to send them back if something looks off. The Gazelle gets a thumbs up based on that one review, but for everything else, keep your expectations in check. It’s not a total pass, but it’s definitely a “buy with caution.”​
