I know someone who gets fake Nikes from there - why though?? Surely part of buying branded sports shoes is to give feet support and comfort from the reputable brand, I’m sure the fakes don’t offer the same.The police/trading standards turn up every now again and raid a few shops but it’s definitely for show. They turn a blind eye the rest of the time.
I had a handful of fakes when I was younger/skint/didn’t know better but now I understand all the wider issues around fakes, and could afford to buy the majority of genuine things if I really wanted to (within reason) I would never buy fake.
It baffles me more why people go to Cheetham Hill and buy fake Nike/adidas/high street brands. A genuine T-shirt is only say £15-20 more and the brand name won’t wash off after 3 washes![]()
