Nike Isn’t Playing Around – Say No to Fakes Vol. 8
In last weeks edition of Say No to Fakes it was the same scenario. This time it’s a “Double Whammy” and the drama went down in South Bend, Indiana. Once again Nike hired a private investigator to scope out a few shops known for selling fakes in South Bend. When it was all said and done, the St. Joseph County Police confiscated close to 3,000 pairs of “suspected” counterfeit Nike shoes (AF1′s and Jordans) at two stores in South Bend.
Representatives from the investigation company say it’s one of the biggest counterfeit busts they’ve uncovered while working for Nike.
Shoes are Nike Air Force One and Nike Air Jordan knockoffs. The shoes were purchased for $30 from an importer in New York, who imported them from China. Police said the shoes sold for $60 to $75. via SBT

Lol@ Tokyo Mike…I agree..but maybe on a t-shirt. You should pitch that to Nike…and based on the looks of things Nike is bringing life to the phrase “fashion police”. Its clean up time…
^You can say that again. Nike said enough is enough.
I remember a shop that sells fakes in ATL ask me to add them to the Shoe Game Hot Spots page…lol
He had the nerve to get mad when I said no. I said your store sells fakes and TSG doesn’t support that. He said he was a daily reader, but he better thank God I didn’t feature his shop in this series. Depending on how I’m feeling one day I just might
man this is crazy…
cuz in every hood there at least 2 stores selling fakes..

Yo G I just got an Email from nike to custimize The jordan 23. lol u should look into that!!
sz 10.0 G-ROC
watch this nigga get like a 100 years!
GOOD. Personally I think they should be going harder to bust the fakes since for the most part these guys arent even trying to hide. Its so easy to go around a major city and find sooo many spots that are doing so why is Nike half stepping???

Yo G-Roc u got my Email
just send me an Email
LOL, and Nike needs to bring their squad to the A-Town asap
http://youtube.com/watch?v=XbYPKmwTJxQ
ASAP ASAP ASAP!
Speaking of ASAP, I was told today that T.I. is suppose to get 12 months and 1500hrs of community service for those gun charges. He is suppose to enter into a plea today. If that’s the case, boy does it pay to be a celeb.
OK CVECWINS… I will check it in a min!
Hell yea, I’m glad another counterfiter is gone. I don’t understand why lats time when I posted the number for peoplw to report to Nike, people were bad mouthing like ATLforces. How is nike suppose to do anything about it if they don’t kniow. ^^^^ G-Roc, what’s up with the links at the top of ur home page, with the links to sites that sell fakes ( j’s for $59.99 and some mo shit) I know I’ve been bullshiting with the collection video, Ever since I saw Mr. A’s, I was like fuck it. he killed it. But besides his and greg street’e, I could go heads up with all the others, should I still fuck with it?^^^^CVECwins, I got 29 pairs of deadstock Jordans with recripts for sale. When I do come around to making the vid, I’ll point them out
its too bad any1 has to deal with this shit…
I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! I hate when dudes be walking around wearing fakes and think that they are the flyest dudes in the world. Excellent job Nike…keep up the great work!
off with there head i say
HJL – Most of the links are sites that sell fakes, but it’s also legit sites; Eastbay, Urban Outfitters, Skiptomyshoe, SoleFresh, eBay, Levi’s, Zappos, etc. Hopefully everyone knows that brand new retro J’s for $60 is fake. Just ignore the fakes!
the work nike is doing is solid its about time they started taking action agnst fakes. kids at my skool rock mad fake bapes. maybe nigo shuld follow suit.
LOLLLLLLLLLL YO I KNOW THIS PLACE!!!! SOUTHBEND, INDIANA! My Freshmen year dudes was showing off some ‘Transparent Bapes’ i asked where they got it.. ‘South Bend, Indiana’ so me and my cousins drove down there (an hour or two, waste of time, and money, but we were going down there for some fireworks anyways, so no biggie) But man… LOLL
Very Nice….. And everyone seems to be gettin heated over this, Jus be patient, there are too many fakes to get em all right away…
G, you be workin your ass off huh…lol
Good!!
I agree with SoleFresh; a lot of these cats don’t hide that fact that sell bootlegs.
All these fakes need to get shut down, sad thing is there is a gang of fake kick supporters…keeps them in business.
Damn shame.
They never have shit like that here in the chi.This convenient store close to where I live just got a shipment of fake 1′s and jays.
Peace,
Y DONT THESE COPS FOCUS ON REAL CRIMES LIKE MURDERS RAPES AND ROBBERY. THEY WANNA BUST A DUDE FOR FAKE KICKS. T I HAD MAD GUNS BUT HES GETTIN 12 MONTHS. THIS DUDE SELLIN FAKES AND HES GONNA GET LIFE. AND IM STICKIN 2 MY OPINION. ALL YALL R SNITCHES. WUT THE FUCC DO IT MATTA TO YOU IF SOME1 WEARIN FAKES. IF YA KICKS IS OFFICIAL THEN Y CARE WUT THE NEXT MANS ROCKIN. ALL MY SHIT IS OFFICIAL, BUT WHEN I SEE SOME1 WEARIN FAKES, I DONT LOSE MY MIND OR TRY AND PULL HIS CARD MAKE HIM FEEL BAD. THAT JUST MEANS YALL SNITCHES R INSECURE.
look at that place. . . who would buy shoes outta there anyway. . .it look like a corner store. smh. goshers.
Yea gud……..u i saw a kid ROCKIN BLUE N BLACK N ELEPHANT SPIZIKES I was like yo…….i despise dem ne wayz gud job nike im gettin tired of fakes
i hate fake nikes and air jordans man i see so many everywhere i go then, they try to act like there real but if u have been to the mall u will notice cats rockin fakes wont step foot in footlocker,finishline,city sports,etc. instead they go to the flea market to cop the new release like the 11×13 COMBINE they are killing the shoe game that people have put heart and soul to maKE WHAT IT IS TODAY WHY DONT THEY GO BACK TO ROCKIN FILAS AND LET US HAVE BACK OUR CULTURE
Yo REALTALK get off this site if u supportin fakes homis!!! That shit is good there stopin that shit, a crime is a crime. Dont do it if u cant do the time!! I mean i dont know u must like fakes or something actin all suspect.
^Thats wats up CVECWINS
Nike is doin a good job of catchen fakes, why don’t they just shut down the fake websites advertised all over the internet. If you type ‘Air Jordans’ on Google, you’ll find like 20-30 fake sites? Why can’t they just shut those fake sites down? O well, at least they’re doing SOMETHING about it
That’s what’s up…they need to keep the pressure on. The world is a better place now that less fakes are circulating. That said, we all need to cop a pair of these immediately…

uhhhhhhhh!!! LOL
Backroad those things are terrible but this news is good. Nike has millions of stores to bust so they better double up on their private team.
Backroad what the hell was that in that damn picture. Hot Nasty Mess. LMAO
Every time I walk the ATL I see mad fakes. I never seen a damn clear Jordan in my life or red patent leather threes. One thing about it is not just fakes, but using the name for example Nike that is so damn illegal. I see if you had your own shoe line called FakeSHITONUS and put your new release that looks like the Jordan 11′s and damn Clear pink Airforce ones then that is okay, but using the name Nike is just so illegal and rightfully Nike will sue your ass or jail time will be in your future.
I wish I could be a Nike secret agent too.
Kooly & Tan – It’s amazing the type of garbage they come up with…never ceases to amaze me.
Glad you got a good laugh
look at the door on that shop lol. thats all i have to say.
WOW THIS TYPE OF NEWS WILL NEVER END. THEY WILL BUSTING SHOPS FOR YEARS SMH..
