What to expect when buying sneakers online in South Africa
This lineup will be available on Nike SNKRS, which means South African buyers must navigate a few hurdles when purchasing online. Since Nike SNKRS operates globally, additional costs will apply.
Here’s what you need to factor in:
- Shipping Costs: Expect to pay between R500 and R1,000 for standard international shipping, depending on the delivery method.
- Import Duties & Taxes: South African customs apply import duties of 30% to 40% on footwear, meaning your final cost will be higher than the listed retail price.
- Final Cost Estimation: For example, if you purchase the NOCTA Air Force 1 (R3,199.95), your total cost could rise to around R4,500 to R5,000 after duties and shipping.
- Payment Considerations: Since Nike SNKRS transactions are processed internationally, ensure your bank allows foreign payments, and be aware of potential currency conversion fees.
To avoid surprises, always calculate the estimated total cost before purchasing. While some South African retailers may stock these sneakers later, expect resale prices to be significantly higher.
