Police: Store sold fake Nike sneakers
Authorities say there's a good reason why Street Wear in downtown Souderton sells brand name sneakers at bargain prices: They're fake.
The store's owner -- Justin C. Coale, 28, -- was charged Tuesday with selling counterfeit Nike sneakers after Souderton police seized more than $10,000 worth of allegedly fake merchandise from his shop at 145 Main St.
The arrest was part of Nike's ongoing nationwide crackdown on counterfeiters, according to Bob Sander, an assistant district attorney for Montgomery County, who is prosecuting the case. Read more

I didn't know they were fakes. You can't buy Nikes for $25-30 anywhere, real ones that is. How does he explain the CD's. He didn't know that was illegal? Hit'em with the max.

Another big bust - like "Who cares". If your nuts enough to pay $75 to $100 for a pair of sneakers you deserve to be ripped off. Foolish people!

Major banks are folding, Gold is through the roof, Oil is right behind it and we are locking up shady sneaker dealers?

Thats great. Now when are they going to nab the many stores down in Allentown as well...People need to stop wearing fake sneakers and supporting this type of garbage product!!!!
There is plenty of information out there on how to avoid fake merchandise. Do your research before buying. allthingsjordan.com |

BTW all the ads that appear in this online article in the google ads box are for fake sneakers as well....Ironic?

He was selling knock offs to fake runners.
No harm done, selling fakes to fakes. |
|

they better hit up hamilton st. in allentown. lol

I didn't think anyone was dumb enough to sell this stuff in their store. I thought it was all sold at the flea markets.

If they can't afford real sneakers for their family, do you think they're gonna have a computer? |
|
|
I run a 'legit' business....I reproduce compact discs himself and sells them for $5 each....
Those two comments makes you wonder about his other statement that he could be selling drugs to kids.....does it mean if he sold drugs to adults that would be OK |

Say No to Fakes...nuff said!

Yeah, I would have to say that I strongly agree with the others, he knew the shoes were fake. All nyone has to do is look at the box, if the shoes are bigger than the box something is wrong. Someone sold me a fake pair of shoes and so I understand what Nike is going through. Websites like tradekey are promoting fake items to be sold in stores because that is all that they sale. Somebody needs to stop this fake shoe stuff because I am a sneaker freak and don't want to be cheated out my money. He deserves this...duh!
