It’s gotta be the shoes!
Five people have been charged in New York with trafficking in counterfeit Nike Air Jordans, sneakers that, if authentic, would have been worth $73 million, according to the NYPD and Homeland Security Investigations.
The counterfeit sneakers look like real Air Jordans in design and color but lack the logos that are registered trademarks, court records said.
After the fakes arrived at the Port of Newark from China, they were taken to locations in Brooklyn and Queens where the logos were added and then distributed for sale, NYPD and HSI investigators said.
