Can I trust this website ?
Basically I want to buy some new basketball shoes from this website http://www.nikeairmaxshoes2011.net/p-Ni ... -1380.html.
However the website looks a bit dodgy (the prices are normal, however all of the writing is in really bad english), and I also did a bit of research and found that the website has been advertised by bots on random websites/videos etc with no relation to basketball.
With the random bot advertising in mind, does that normally mean it's a kind of scam website? Thanks for any help.

Couldn't seem to find the same shoes on the official Nike store, but even so I know that shoes from Nike store are nearly always £20-30 more expensive than other well-known retailers ie. sports-direct.

As this online shop does not seem to have legal notice, I would not trust it at all. Also like you said "all of the writing is in really bad english" and both the FAQ and the Privacy information do not seem very trustful to me.

Yeah i've definitely decided against it, also I found about 10 other websites with same products, also bad english, and they all have the same page layout (not sure how to describe it, but the way you choose quantity/size/images are all the same on these pretty fake websites). Means I have to find a new pair!
Thanks for help guys.

Quote from that website "Buy more than pairs and get the Discount , Save more!"
Are they also selling to people with 3 legs ? Or can you realy just buy 3 shoes for fun ?
