Shoppers race to Kmart to purchase $25 ‘dupe’ of $270 Nike sneakers: ‘I need these’
- Kmart is selling a $25 pair of sneakers in two colours
- Customers claim they’re a ‘dupe’ of $270 Nike Low Cut Pandas
A customer has spotted a ‘dupe’ of a popular pair of $270 Nike sneakers for just $25 at Kmart – sending fashionistas into a frenzy.
The affordable Kmart ‘Tennis Sneakers’ look remarkably similar to the Nike Low Cut Pandas, as both feature a front perforated detail, laces and two-tone design.
Eagle-eyed shopper Jorja was flabbergasted after spotting the buy in stores and shared the discovery.
‘Kmart dupe finds,’ she captioned a video shared on TikTok, which has been viewed more than 324,000 times.

Thousands on TikTok were amazed by the great value of the Kmart shoes – which are available in either black and white or blue and white.
‘They actually like look good,’ one commented, another joked: ‘Just stick a Nike sign on them.’
‘If you walk fast enough no one would notice,’ a third added.
‘I bought a pair and painted the Nike tick for my sisters friends birthday present… cheapest dunks ever,’ another said.
One person also described Kmart as ‘Dupemart’ due to the number of ‘dupe’ products available.

This isn’t the first time shoppers have noticed a dupe on Kmart shelves.
Earlier this month fashion lovers have discovered the retailer’s $2.50 version of Cartier’s iconic diamond-studded ‘Love’ bracelets – which cost anywhere between $7,500 and $30,000.
The French luxury conglomerate sells a version with yellow gold and diamonds ($26,900), and white gold and diamonds ($28,800).
Kmart has launched affordable copies for both items that are now present in-stores and online that come in the form of a 2-pack ($5) with a lobster strap chain bracelet.
However, the $2.50 bracelets have a hinge closure whereas the Cartier ones need to be secured to your wrist with a screwdriver.

Another key difference is that the Kmart bracelets have protruding gemstones instead of embedded diamonds.
Kmart uses zinc alloy, brass, iron, plastic and glass to make the bracelets.
Many shoppers claim that the pieces of jewellery look identical from afar, and that they can hardly tell the difference.
‘Cheers to Kmart for the $2.50 Cartier knockoff,’ Emmy, from Victoria, said on social media.
