A Flaw?
Some commenters were fans of the product. “I have those for me my son didn’t want them, I get so many compliments when I wear them,” one shared.
“My son plays basketball and he only wears Ja’s,” another added.
Others warned the TikToker that it is likely that the Jas she found in Burlingtons have a flaw.
“It’s probably because there’s a flaw in them. that’s so small. you can’t recognize it. I don’t think you’ll be able to flip them,” a third said.
While a fourth concurred, “All clothes and shoes, etc., that are in Marshalls in Burlington and T.J. Maxx have flaws. We may not be able to notice them, but every single thing has a flaw.”
What’s The Deal With These Nike Shoes?
As the screen indicates, the precise shoe model is the Nike Ja 2 Breeze Beyond Blue. However, it seems like the shoes aren’t worth as much money as the Google AI “sources” suggest. Many commenters also highlighted that same point.
On eBay, that exact shoe model is being sold for between $50 and $74.99. It is approximately 18 months old. The website Sole Retriever reveals that the sneakers were released back in March 2025. The site also claims that, when the sneakers first dropped, it originally retailed at $120 for men, $97 for GS, and $82 for PS.
Presumably, the reason it is slightly cheaper on eBay is that many of the shoes being sold appear to be second-hand. This exact model appears to no longer be on the Nike website. The latest snapshot from the Nike website via the Wayback machine is from July 2025, at which point the shoe is listed as being worth $84.97.
Ultimately, what this shows is that we need to be more skeptical when it comes to AI price quotes. This is the case even if that pricing seems to come from a legitimate website like eBay.
