Federal agents seized a massive shipment of counterfeit footwear on its way to Mexico, which contained millions of dollars worth of fake shoes - including rare Nike Jordans and Yeezys. U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] officers said the haul was worth over $4.3 million USD. It included over 1,800 pair of counterfeit Limited Edition ?Dior X Air Jordan 1? shoes. officers targeted 60 boxes that originated from Hong Kong and were manifested as ?Ball Golf? for an exam. This inspection revealed several styles of footwear bearing the registered trademarks of Nike and Adidas. Due to the poor quality of workmanship, incorrect packaging, and previous experience with similar products, officers determined the footwear were not authentic items. ?Counterfeiters trafficking in phony merchandise are not concerned about the American consumer or the damage their fake goods can do to our economy,? said CBP Port Director Timothy Lemaux. ?CBP will continue to take every opportunity to intercept illegitimate goods and disrupt transnational criminal enterprises seeking to fund criminal activities with counterfeit or pirated merchandise.? In the fiscal year 2019, Department of Homeland Security agencies claimed to have seized counterfeit footwear for intellectual property rights that worth more than $37 million USD. The haul also included pairs of Kanye West-designed adidas Yeezy 350 Boosts. 12 Aug 2020 Pictured: Some of the counterfeit sneakers / trainers seized.
