A TikTok user took his followers to see “The world of sneakers”, where there are chelas and tennis shoes.
This video caused the discussion to arise among the comments about whether or not it is correct to consume piracy.
In 2020, the total revenue of the tennis market was valued at 70 billion dollars.
The market for sports shoes, sneakers, or tennis, as you prefer to call them, is one of the most important in the footwear industry. For this reason, a recent video shared on TikTok has sparked a discussion involving the ethics and economic possibilities of users. In the owner’s account a video was shared where he visits “The world of sneakers”, which offers “chelas” to make you feel at home.
According to a study by Statista, which includes data on the value of the sneaker market around the worldfrom 2012 to 2025, by 2020 the total revenue of the global sneaker market was valued at approximately 70 billion US dollarsand it was predicted that they would reach a value of 102 billion US dollars by 2025.
On the other hand, piracy is also a problem faced by companies and companies of any product, because even if the consolidation of brands is achieved, there will always be those who decipher the formulas that made them great. For this reason, it is considered, according to a recent study of Better Business Bureau, that one in four online shoppers has received counterfeit products at some point; while in another study, 20 percent of respondents who bought athletic shoes online in the past 6 months, at the time of that study, said they bought fake shoes.
A user of the Chinese social network shared a video in which he took his followers to know the “World of sneakers”a place located in Tepito, near line B of the CDMX Metro. In that same video, the user recounts his journey and talks about the place, where they offer you “chelas” while you look at your tennis shoes and think about which one to buy. It should be noted that the user highlights that this establishment is familiar and that it has an excellent atmosphere.
Likewise, the low prices of each element stand out, since it is a fact that they are cheaper than in stores or branches, both physical and digital. brands like Adidas, Nike and Cougar They can be seen as one of the many brands available in the local Tepiteño.

Something that stands out is the final part of the video, because the user asks his followers what do they think about piracy and the original, although it does not specify if the place sells “pirated” or original items. Some of the comments that could be read were the following:
“In any case, the original sneakers and clones serve the same purpose, I don’t think the originals give you super powers”, “Not all of us have enough money to buy the originals, and the clones came to help us to have flow with an affordable price” and “I am one of those who prefers to use cheap but original tennis shoes than to use expensive tennis clones… No to piracy…”.
Definitely, supporting piracy is not something he agrees with; however, this type of discussion and reflection is always valued and makes us rethink why these alternatives satisfy certain consumers and what are the conditions in which they occur.
