Beware of fake branded Basketball shoes

The demand for basketball shoes has led to the setting up of a large number of shops, both online and offline, that sell discount basketball shoes. These stores offer huge discounts — as high as 20 to 40 per cent — on basketball shoes, making the offer very tempting.

However, one must be careful while selecting the branded basketball shoes. A concerned Nike, which is a leading manufacturer of basketball shoes, has gone to the extent of putting up a notice warning buyers to be careful of stores that offer big discounts. Nike’s greatest fear is that substandard shoes are being sold in the name of Nike.

According to Nike, “If the fit isn’t the same, the sole has little traction, or they smell of cheap rubber glue they’re fake. Websites that sell fakes will usually state that their shoes are factory samples or variants or custom or replicas, etc. Also see where they are shipped from. Beware of sites that say they ship from Hong Kong or China via EMS.”

Advantages of Guardian s Services

A strong point of Guardian s services is central monitoring. The central monitoring station is tested every week to ensure that all guidelines laid down by the Underwriters laboratories are being followed. The system s signals are received through a telecommunications network that operates on high-priority, fiber-optic 800-phone lines. Whenever the system detects suspicious movement it alerts the central monitoring station, which, in turn, dispatches its security team to the site. The local authorities are also alerted to the suspected break in.

Guardian also offers a comprehensive fire protection plan for homes, called an all-points fire protection system. As part of the plan, smoke detectors are installed on every floor, in halls, stairways, bedrooms and living areas. These detectors too are monitored by a central station that alerts the local fire authorities and the home owner in case of an alarm.
