I was traveling overseas and I bought a pair of counterfeit adidas pants for 10 bucks or so. I have been wearing this for a while now and in my opinion it’s superior the adidas pants I normally buy at rebel sports for 100 bucks or so. The pockets are deeper and the logo is sewn in rather than one of those plasticy stick on things. Also the fabric hasn’t pilled yet which happens to my genuine adidas pants rather quickly.
The thing is they look just like the real branded goods, down the the labels inside. You really can’t tell them apart except maybe the fabric is a little thinner (which I actually like).
Are there places in NZ where I can buy counterfeit goods? I never realised they would be better than the real things.
Unfortunately it’s probably too easy to get shut down due to IP laws here. Anyone selling the stuff that gets even remotely popular would attract the attention of the law.
Counterfeit clothes can be very hit and miss though. I lived in Southeast Asia for awhile where you could get it easily and there is a lot of it that is crap quality.
Personally I don’t buy many clothes any more, but the little that I do buy I’m happy to spend more on quality so it lasts longer.
Just to follow up with you.
So far the counterfeit pants have been holding up great. My genuine addidas pants have all suffered from pilling but this one hasn’t yet. Let’s see what happens in another month.
That’s great. I agree a lot of adidas/Nike gear is pretty lacking in durability yet they still charge a premium for them
