Looking For Some Feedback

Im an old Grandma who has always managed to find the sneakers my grandson wants for Christmas, but this year he wants a Kobe Bryant shoe that is being released on December 24th, so I cant make them appear under the tree~~

I have searched around online and only 2 places offer pre-ordering of this shoe. One is SoleBlessed, and the other is SoleSerious. 'Blessed' is charging $220,  credit card only...'Serious' is charging $275, but does accept PayPal.

I am hell bent on acquiring these sneakers, but Im a little hesitant about using sites Im not familiar with. Should I wait longer and go with a well known site? Will that affect my chance of getting them? KobeBryant.com was of no help when I called them. The girl didnt even seem to know what I was talking about! Same with live chat at Nike.

I hope Ive posted this in the correct spot...I also hope somebody out there can give me some advice on this topic!

Thanks~~

some people in this thread have said that Sole Serious is legitimate

if you don't get the shoes it will be up to your payment method to get your money back or not. from what i know Paypal is very good about that so you would be very secure. some credit cards are very secure this way as well.
