Shoppers rush to Kmart to buy $25 ‘dupe’ of $270 Nike sneakers
- Kmart sells a $25 pair of sneakers in two colors
- Customers claim they are a “dupe” of $270 Nike Low Cut Pandas
A customer has spotted a “dupe” of a popular $270 pair of Nike sneakers for just $25 at Kmart, sending fashionistas into a frenzy.
The affordable Kmart ‘Tennis Sneakers’ are remarkably similar to the Nike Low Cut Pandas, as both feature a perforated detail on the front, laces and a two-tone design.
Eagle-eyed shopkeeper Jorja was stunned after seeing the sale in stores and shared the discovery.
“Kmart finds dupe,” she captioned one video shared on TikTok, which has been viewed more than 324,000 times.

Thousands on TikTok were amazed at the great value of the Kmart shoes – which come in black and white or blue and white.
“They like to look good,” one commented, another joked, “Put a Nike sign on it.”
“If you walk fast enough, no one notices,” a third added.
“Bought a pair and painted the Nike check for my sister’s girlfriend’s birthday present…cheapest dunks ever,” said another.
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 aficionados discovered the $2.50 version of Cartier’s iconic “Love” diamond-studded bracelets – priced anywhere from $7,500 to $30,000.
The French luxury conglomerate sells a yellow gold and diamond ($26,900) and white gold and diamond ($28,800) version.
Kmart has launched affordable ones for both items now in stores and online that come in the form of a 2-pack ($5) that includes a lobster strap bracelet.
However, the $2.50 bracelets have a hinge clasp, while the Cartier bracelets must 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 jewelry looks identical from a distance and they can barely tell the difference.
“Cheers to Kmart for the $2.50 Cartier knockoff,” Victoria’s Emmy said on social media.
