In recent years, Nike Dunk sneakersOrientdig, a China-based proxy shopping platform, offers a seamless solution to purchase Dunks directly from domestic sellers on Weidian, a popular e-commerce platform in China. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Orientdig to cop your dream pair, along with key tips to navigate the process.
Why Use Orientdig for Weidian Purchases?
Orientdig specializes in making China-exclusive deals
- Lower pricing than international resellers
- Access to Weidian's vast inventory of authentic sneakers (including rare colorways)
- Consolidated shipping for multiple items
- English-language support
Step 1: Find Your Nike Dunk Listing
Start by browsing Weidian stores or curated product lists like this Dunks spreadsheet, which aggregates sellers offering discounted or limited-edition pairs. Look for:
- Seller ratings (aim for 98%+)
- Detailed product photos (ask for extra QC pics via Orientdig if needed)
- Price comparisons across listings
Step 2: Submit Your Order via Orientdig
Copy the Weidian product URL and paste it into Orientdig’s order form. Specify details like:
- Size (EUR/US conversion may be required)
- Color variant
- Special packaging requests (e.g., original box protection)
Orientdig will provide a finalized quote including service fees (typically 5-8%) and estimated shipping costs.
Step 3: Payment and Quality Control
After payment (options include PayPal, Wise, or cryptocurrency), Orientdig’s team will:
- Purchase the item on your behalf
- Request Pre-Shipment QC photos (check stitching, logos, and soles)
- Verify authenticity against common replica flaws (e.g., toe box shape, swoosh texture)
Step 4: Shipping and Customs
Once approved, your Dunks will be shipped via your chosen method (DHL, FedEx, or sea freight for bulk orders). Tips to avoid customs issues:
- Declared value adjustments (consult Orientdig for regional thresholds)
- Remove original tags/labels if minimizing import taxes is a priority
- Invoice splitting for multi-shoe hauls
Pro Tips for First-Time Buyers
- Use spreadsheet trackers like this one
- Consider joining group buys via Orientdig's Discord for shared shipping discounts
- For ultra-exclusive collabs (e.g., Travis Scott Dunks), pre-order timelines may extend 4-6 weeks
Note: Turnaround time typically ranges between 10-21 days depending on seller shipment speed and your location. Always communicate with Orientdig’s customer service for real-time updates via their live chat feature.

- Different UI features highlighted (spreadsheet vs. Discord integration)
- Modified pricing/fee structure examples
