This is bullshit. If those kids went out and bought fake kicks the shoes would be taken away and the kids/parents should be apprehended. This is justified because copyright laws keep the country fair. If you make a great design, you deserve the money from it. Your not allowed to steal someone else’s design. We all agree on that.

Then why is it ok for cops to give confiscated fakes away? Because the kids don’t have shoes to wear…BULLSHIT. There are a gazillion shoes out there for sale that cost like nothing, that aren’t stolen designs. If the kids/parents want nice shoes they have to pay for them like everyone else or buy the cheap ones. Maybe if the kids didn’t get fake shoes, some of them would save up and buy some nice nikes or just cheap nikes. I doubt they would go without shoes.

So in the end, by giving out fake shoes to poor kids, they are illegal lowering nike’s profits

if they arrested them for fakes then they give the contraband away-isnt that a contradiction. i appreciate the gesture but how can police say its bad in one hand and ok in another. furthermore, these kids could have recieved pre-worn or donated shoes but oooh nooo how can american kids do that?!!! god forbid these american kids wear used kicks. theres those programs where folks send shoes to africa and latin america, and those people are glad to wear the pre owned shoes.so i guess american kids dont need em unless they new. i guess they can keep em next to their leaked T.I. album, and barbershop dvds.

*how does 400 pairs of kicks equal $13,000???*
—-13,000/400
i would rather seen them donated than just thrown out. times is hard for people, so any help i think is very appreciated. if you dont have the means to live lavish you learn to appreciate things much more

i agree with TokyoMike 110%. those shoes certainly brightened those kids’ lives, & i’m sure that none of them would give a damn whether they’re fake or not.

LOL SNEAKERHEADS ARE PRETTY MUCH A BUNCH OF SELF CENTERED IDIOTS……WE PAY WAY OVER RETAIL FOR SOME SH*T THAT’S NOT GONNA MATTER WAY DOWN THE ROAD IN REAL LIFE……IT’S AN OUT OF HAND HOBBY, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS, AND WE’RE ALL SPENDING MONEY LIKE A BUNCH OF ASSH*LES TO BE HONEST. HOMELESS/UNDERPRIVELEGED PEOPLE APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THEY HAVE/GET, SO WHO GIVES A CRAP IF THEY’RE KNOCK OFFS, THEY’RE MORE THAN THOSE KIDS HAD THE DAY BEFORE, AND THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS. WHO GIVES A SH*T IF WE HAVE SHOES SUPPOSEDLY “WORTH” $900…..NOBODY’S GONNA PAY THAT MUCH FOR EM, SO ALL YOU CAN DO WITH EM IS SHOW EM TO OTHER IDIOTS AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AS YOU TELL EM “THESE ARE WORTH $900!!!” I’M GUILTY OF IT TOO…..IN REALITY, IT’S STUPID AS HELL…..BUT I ALSO SHIP BOXES OF KICKS/CLOTHES TO THE PHILLIPINES AND GIVE KICKS TO YOUNGER FRIENDS ALL THE TIME……SO I MAKE THE EFFORT TO HELP WHEN I CAN…..AND I THINK EVERYONE IN A POSITION TO HELP PEOPLE OUT SHOULD DO SO…..LACING UP A PAIR OF NEW KICKS DOESN’T FEEL NEARLY AS GOOD AS GIVING SOMEONE SOMETHING THEY NEED WHEN THEY LEAST EXPECT IT……

Damn….I almost had to do a double take. I live in Easton Pa and I’m probably like the only true sneakerhead in this wack ass city. Boys and Girls Club of Easton did a good thing though so I can’t knock em’ for that but these kids deserve authentics.
