I was looking for sport shoes online and came across the latest Nike trainers selling at much lower prices than those at Queenstown mall. Why is that?

Are the shoes at Queenstown authentic as well? Online shop sellers had given me word on the shoes' authenticity too.

Which online website were you shopping for the sport shoes? Online sites like Zalora & ASOS should be authentic, but others like Qoo10 or Lazada might not be. Did you do a "background check" on the seller - Checking out reviews of all the seller's product listings (Any bad comments, reading other people's Q&A Irresponsive, no after-sales service if there are defects/need to exchange size).

As for the shoes sold at Queenstown, it should be authentic since it is illegal to sell counterfeits/replicas of trademarked goods in Singapore, pursuant to Section 49 of the Trade Marks Act.

As a rule of thumb, if the price seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Meaning to say, if it claims to be authentic at a much cheaper price, then it probably is fake.

If the price for the latest Nike trainers are too good to be true, I would question the authenticity as well.

Recently looking into Sentosa stock and realised that the price for homes in Sentosa has been lower recently. Not saying it's cheaper, just that it's lower than before. Why so?
