Man says $100 Nike shoes rang up for a fraction of the price, but the cashier’s response made him question his luck

Finding a good price on sneakers can make an ordinary shopping trip a little more interesting. Finding a pair that appears to drop from $100 to just $12.74 at checkout is a different kind of surprise.

According to TikTok creator @qinthestu1, the shoes were expected to cost $100 but rang up for just $12.74 when he reached the register. He shared the experience in a video that shows the unusually low total and what happened during the checkout.

The price was only part of the story. The shopper also claims the cashier noticed the low total and told him to hurry up, although the video does not establish what the employee knew about the price or why it appeared that way.

The Nike shoes reportedly rang up for $12.74

The shopper claims the unexpected price appeared when he went to pay. Rather than stopping the transaction to figure out why the total was so low, he says the purchase continued.

The cashier’s alleged reaction quickly became another part of the story. The employee reportedly told the shopper, “Just hurry up. On my life, just hurry up.”

The shopper took the opportunity and finished the transaction. He later summed up the moment by saying, “And I was out bro. Thank you.”

There is still a basic question hanging over the purchase. The video does not explain whether the $12.74 total came from a pricing mistake, a discount or something else that happened at the register.

The same goes for the cashier’s comment. It suggests the employee noticed something unusual, but it does not establish what they knew or why they chose to let the transaction continue.

Nike has not publicly explained the unusually low price in the available reporting. The shopper appears to have completed the purchase, but the $12.74 total should not be treated as an advertised Nike price or a deal other shoppers should expect.

That is worth remembering when a checkout moment goes viral. Other shoppers have found themselves questioning their final totals too, including one who spotted a charge she didn’t recognize on her receipt.

A receipt can sometimes reveal something shoppers did not notice while picking out an item. In this case, the unusually low price worked in the shopper’s favor, but another low-price situation ended very differently.

A similar situation came up when another shopper found tools marked down to 3 cents, only to run into a very different problem at checkout. For shoppers, there is one simple takeaway. Checking the total before paying can reveal when the price is different from what you expected, whether that difference turns out to be a discount or something that needs to be checked.

There is also no indication in the available reporting that the purchase was later reversed or that the shopper was asked to return the shoes. As far as the reported incident goes, he left the store with the pair after paying $12.74.
