    I am looking for a pair of Nike Roshe Run and came across them on Aliexpress for price that looks to good to be true.

    Does anyone know if the majority of clothing and footwear for sale on the site are fakes or real? The price obviously makes them suspect!

    99.997% of branded stuff they're selling over there are fakes.

    But prices are tempting. ;)

    Very high chance of it being taken by customs and distroyed.

    Sellers are often sound though and will send another if they get caught.

    Also even though they may be "fakes" they will be identical, same quality etc. And probably even made on the same line.

    Unlikely to be identical or same quality and to suggest they are made in the same factory is ridiculous. Don't encourage people to buy counterfeit items, if you can't afford to buy the genuine article don't even bother. It's a false economy and looks tacky.

    I've bought such items and they've had every exact detail the "real" items have. Nike authentic stitching on the inside.

    Go over to the soccer forum where they discuss replica jerseys, no complaints at all and excellent praise for the quality.
