$86K of Fakes! – Say No to Fakes Vol. 15
ATLforces33 held it down in the previous Say No to Fakes by burning some fakes on the 4th of July. It was actually pretty funny, and his crew definitely enjoyed themselves. However, the police are still working hard at keeping fakes off the streets and $86K ($86,950 total) worth of fakes was just confiscated in Vineland, New Jersey. According to NJ, detectives confiscated more than 800 pairs of fake Nike sneakers from a Flea Market. That’s really not a big shocker seeing that most people push fakes out of the Flea Market, or some of our west coast readers might say Swap Meet. Nike’s private team is coming for a bootleg spot near you soon.
According to Detective Lt. Thomas Ulrich, Sumtar Investigative Services, a private firm hired by Nike Corporation, had been looking into reports of counterfeit sneakers being sold at the South Delsea Drive flea market for more than a month. via NJ

It’s been a min since the last SNTF. Nike is really going hard, so don’t be shocked if your local Flea Market or Swap Meet gets busted next. They need to come to the A-Town ASAP…smh
I’m glad they got them! Fakes put two black eyes in the game. Between fakes and JBs whak colorways, it’s made me wanna retire. Nike keeps cracking the retro vault tho and has me back at it like a crack addict
The world would be a better place w/o fakes no doubt. They should swoop up them folks that sell fake gear also. It irritates the hell out of me when u see a mofo rockin fake Evisus, fake Ed Hardys, & clear Jordans & front like he drop mad loot on em.
They need to DONATE all those sneaker to a third world country ya know?
Ouch……fakes lolthen you got people rockin um sayin they real….its a sad sad world
I agree with Matt Jones, in places like Africa & India they don’t care about brand name shoes. They’re just happy to have a pair. I mean, what do they do with them after the confiscate it? Burn them? lol.
Man u talkin bout the A G-roc…they need to crack down in the D (detroit)fa real, ppl out here be killin me wit they fake shoes/clothes
Somewhere, J-Roc and Jaxboogie are crying themselves to sleep…..
lol, DC has there share of fakes lordddd, i almost got caught copping some off the street, if something’s to good to be true it probably isn’t.
im glad that these fakes were taken of the streets, hopefully they will donated these.
Real talk dey prolly take da fakes n re sell dem.. u never know, but nike shuld just give away the real thing to the 3rd world countries b/c profit isnt evrythin
na they send’em to gentry and thats how they come up w/ them nasty colorways w/ the fusions and stuff j/k
Yo G, They need to come to the CHI and bust niggas up too, Cats is rockin fakes so hard that a nigga will try to fight you tellin him his joint’s is fake…SMH…
Hey i dont knock ppl’s hustle so i will never snicth on someone selling fakes but i really hope they round all the fakes up n get them off the streets!!! i wonder what kinda time dudes is really getting for flippin these fakes n who the hell is supplying them
Nike needs their own police force to crack down on all the fakes being sold.
Man.. talking bout the D-Town.. lol last time i was there, its shop after shop after shop.
But up here in Grand Rapids, theres a flea market by this movie theatre (Every weekend). Man, i thought they dont make sz 14, 15, & 16 in fakes. Guy has some Laser Baby Blue IV’s. Just a table full of fakes.. Seen him like a few times, after that never saw him again.. wonder if he got busted. But yeah man, when i see dudes rockin’ fake Evisu’s, gets me so damn heated! Cause i pay good money for mine.. Same goes for RMC.
I bet one of the spots they get em made is Korea…..I’ve been there and seen first hand how they sell fake everything. You can get damn near anything made there from suits to shoes, all you need is the basic idea. It’d be nothing to get em to copy some stank ass AF1′s lol….
dang man!!!
when is it going to stop???
everything is being “faked” these days!!!
p.s. does anyone remember hearing about a deli shop in Harlem, NY selling fake Trojan Magnums?
the video is on youtube
dude running the deli shop didn’t know though.
he bought them from a street vendor, which is no surprise…
THIS IS ALWAYS GOOD NEWS
Damn right, I know I have emailed Nike a few times about shops in my city. One of them even had the nerve to sell fake everything in a big mall here. What an idiot!!!
@ Matt Jones, that is exactly what Nike does with the fakes. They donate the shoes to countries where the poeple don’t even own shoes period. There was an interview with the head of security at Nike and in the interview that question was asked.
@ RJ, yeah I heard about the fake condoms. That’s why I go to the major chains for those.
