Scam Alert: Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Websites

Last Updated: November 2025

Quick Summary

Some websites are using our photos and pretending to sell giant shoeboxes at extremely low prices.
We only sell through sneakerheadshoebox.com and our official channels.
If you see a site offering boxes for $50–$100, it’s almost certainly a scam.
Each of our boxes takes over 40 hours to build and costs far more than $100 in materials and freight alone.
When in doubt, contact us before you buy at support@sneakerheadshoebox.com.

Why These Sites Are Not Legitimate

They use our official product photos without authorization.
They advertise unrealistic prices that wouldn’t even cover materials or freight.
They lack proper business information, customer service, or credible reviews.

Each of our boxes takes 40+ hours to build by hand using high-quality materials.
We’ve tested many materials and methods over the years to achieve our signature look and performance.
Cheaper substitutes will not deliver the same durability, detail, or quality.
