Womens Nike trainers - where?

Daughter has asked for some specific Nike trainers for her 16th birthday in a few weeks. They retailed for £99, but the only place i can find them is on resellers (scalpers!) sites - £150 - £200 + p&p + 'processing fees' - so almost double :(

Womens Nike Dunk High Panda (2021) US 10/UK 8 https://www.nike.com/my/launch/t/dunk-high-black-and-white

Anyone able to help out?!

    Being a parent...never an easy gig!

    Does your daughter realise that you would have to pay so much to get these? If not, now might be a good time to enlighten her. If she does, perhaps offering to pay the first (say) £100 and let her do the shopping around?
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Does she know they are sold out from Nike? Is there a pair that are in stock she wants? Check Foot Locker too of course.

    I don't trust the resellers personally so wouldn't go that way. Better to find a different pair in stock from a decent retailer.
