- Identical quality materials to global releases
- Unique Asia-limited color blocking
- Manufacturer prices typically 30-50% below Western retail
- Earlier release dates than most international markets

Avoiding Common Pitfalls When Ordering Nike Dunks from China
While Joyabuy handles logistics and translation, smart buyers should:
- Cross-check seller ratings - Look for 4.8+ scores with 1000+ transactions
- Confirm size charts - Nike's Chinese versions sometimes fit slightly narrower
- Monitor brand protection campaigns - Certain coveted Dunks (like the Tiffany collaborations) have release restrictions
- Calculate total landed costs - China to US shipping typically adds $25-40

When Joaybuy Outperforms Other Agents
Testing various China buying agents revealed three advantages specific to sneaker purchases:
- Received direct inventory access to Nike Tmall drops before public listings
- Lower citehao (proxy buying) fees compared to Superbuy/ Wegobuy
- Faster response during 11.11 and 618 sales
Korean and Japanese buyers should note: while most Western countries allow personal footwear imports under $800 without customs fees, Joyabuy reports increasing ADIDAS and Korea customs requiring buyers to prove personal use for multiple sneaker shipments of same models.
