Purchasing authentic sneakers like the Nike Air Jordan 6 from Chinese wholesale platforms can be challenging for international customers due to language barriers, payment restrictions, and shipping limitations. Fortunately, AllChinaBuy, a reliable China-to-global proxy service, simplifies this process. This guide will walk you through purchasing the coveted Air Jordan 6s via 1688 (Alibaba’s B2B marketplace) using AllChinaBuy.
Unlike conventional agents, AllChinaBuy specializes in sourcing products from lesser-known Chinese platforms like 1688, where bulk discounts make sneakers significantly cheaper. Key benefits include:
For discounted products similar to Air Jordan 6, check the Finds.Cheap spreadsheet
Create an account on AllChinaBuy’s platform, then locate your desired Air Jordan 6 listing on 1688 (e.g., "Nike AJ6 运动鞋"). Note that 1688 links typically show prices per pair for wholesale quantities (2+), so confirm MOQs.
Paste the 1688 product URL into AllChinaBuy’s order form. Specify color/size preferences and request detailed photos (stitching, box labels) to counter fake products. Agents may negotiate bulk pricing—mention "Finds.Cheap" for potential perks.
Pay via PayPal/credit card. AllChinaBuy receives the Jordans at their warehouse, then inspects them (360° videos available). You’ll approve quality before they repackage to reduce volumetric weight.
The Air Jordan 6 "Infrared" (2020) retails for $190 in the U.S., but 1688 offers replica-grade batches for ¥380-500/pair (~$52-$70). With proxy fees (~15%) and shipping (~$40/kg via DHL), total landed cost is ~$100-$130 — still 35-48% below retail. Regional taxes apply.
Choose between express (7-12 days via DHL) or budget sea shipping (30+ days). AllChinaBuy’s logistics partners handle customs paperwork, but declare ≤$150/parcel to avoid duties (EU/US thresholds vary). Track shipments via their dashboard.
