Budget retailer Primark is selling a new pair of trainers which look very similar to ones sold by a designer brand - but for around £ £274 cheaper.
Primark, which is hugely popular in Liverpool, has become known for its designer dupes in recent years, often selling alternative versions to high-end products for much less. This time around, the retailer is selling a pair of white trainers which are very similar to one sold by fashion brand Axel Arigato, which are priced at £290 online.
TikTok user @fenloninteriors_ shared a reel of the Primark shoes online. The post was captioned: “@Primark new balance/ axel trainer dupeee… obsessed p.s the fall indicates these try ons aren't for me.”

Primark’s shoes are priced at £16, while Axel Arigato’s version would set shoppers back £290. This means shoppers could save around £274 by opting for the dupe.
