Navigate to Tmall’s international portal or the Chinese language site. Use search terms like “AJ6 正品” (“authentic AJ6”) or paste the product ID if you have it. Key verification tips:

1. Check the store’s “Tmall” badge (blue logo) which indicates an official brand store
2. Look for 老买家 (repeat buyers) percentages above 15% in reviews

Step 2: Submit Details to Hoobuy

Sign up on Hoobuy’s platform (multiple language options available) and:

• Paste the Tmall product URL into their order form
• Specify size, color (用拼音 like “hei bai” for black/white)
• Add special instructions like “double-box for protection”

Pro Tip: Hoobuy’s AI translator can convert your English notes for Chinese sellers.

Handling Payment & Shipping Smartly

Hoobuy accepts payment via:

Select EMS for fastest delivery (6-10 days) or Sea Freight for bulk orders (45+ days). Their repacking service can reduce volumetric weight by 30%.

Post-Purchase Tips

Once Hoobuy receives your shoes in their Guangzhou warehouse:

1. Review their QC photos zooming in on stitching and sole glue lines
2. Request additional testing videos if concerned about authenticity
3. Ask them to remove retail receipts to prevent customs value disputes

Alternative Approach for Tech-Savvy Buyers

During China’s 618 or Singles’ Day, Hoobuy often waives service fees for purchases above $300.

Final Thoughts

While platforms like StockX serve Western markets, Tmall through Hoobuy provides access to Asia-exclusive Jordan releases (made for event); fees typically run 12-18% cheaper even after forwarding costs. Skeptical shoppers can test the service with smaller purchases like socks or accessories before committing to premium sneakers.

“Using Hoobuy secured me the Toro Bravo AJ6 that wasn’t available on Nike’s US site. Their team even negotiated with the seller for an unopened ’first batch’ pair.” – Marcos L., sneakerhead forum member
