How do I contact Nike to report a FAKE shop?

[clkru]

...SMH after I just questioned whether or not we should be worried about fakes in this economy, BUT...

...who should I call about a fake shop? There is an Athletes Foot in Downtown Seattle (up Capitol Hill on Pike Street) that has WALL TO WALL of Fake J'sand Nikes, and even features them in the window for any and all to see. I mean, this is practically a 5 minute walk up the street from Niketown Seattle!

How do I report this? I just walked by it on Friday of last week.

Just did a Google search and found this blog on the AF in Seattle selling fakes.

Thanks! Just emailed them.

WOW!!!! That's crazy.

Wow. I remember back in the day, "The Athlete's Foot" had stores in a lot of the malls (Southcenter, Northgate, etc). Now they are a franchisechain. FYI...Mekhi Phifer owns 6 stores in California.

Response from Nike Counterfeit. So are they going to drop the hammer? I mean, this store is seriously a 5 minute walk up the street from aNiketown.

IF you're really that motivated to DO THE RIGHT THING, file a report at your local police station (especially if you were scammed).

Local police team up with federal authorities all the time to take down these kinds of operations.

There are so many counterfeiters out there. I don't know if Nike can handle them all.

 

[mattyg13]

Wow. Never expected a store like that to be sellin fakes.

What shocks and offends me about this one is that it is 5 minutes up the street from Niketown Seattle.

And I wasn't ripped off as I didn't buy anything. I was just shocked and offended.

I mean, what's next in this economy? Footlocker becoming a loosely regulated, franchised operation that sells fakes? Sure it sounds far fetched, but 10years ago I never would have thought a company like AF could fall this far.

 

[crazy ebw]

I mean...you did the right thing.

Don't lose sleep over it though.

That's the one, yes.

I already emailed Nike, per my post above. However, I'm sure a few more messages to Nike wouldn't hurt.

Will do ... also ... did you get the Manager's name? Maybe I'll give him a call later to see if he has any "Air Gordons".

 

[lukejaywalker23]

Anyone call them yet?

 

[clkru]

"Will do ... also ... did you get the Manager's name? Maybe I'll give him a call later to see if he has any "Air Gordons"."

No, but we should call him anyway.

I spotted the store from across the street on my way up Capitol Hill from Niketown to meet my wife. The windows are flanked by fake J's and Nikes thatlooked real with OG colorways from across the street. After approximately 2.3 seconds of scanning the store wall-to-wall, an older man on a cell phone askedme if he could help me find anything. I said "I'm just looking for some real Air Jordans, but I doubt I'll find 'em here" and left. Ididn't catch what he mumbled as I walked out the door.

Given the big number of bored people on NT, and the phone number of this AF, this could get interesting ...
feel free to record your conversations, people.

[outlaw2j]

its a shame u dont even know wether or not u gettin real shoes from a big name retail store. maybe employee's that work there are switching out the realshoes with fakes. it doesnt bother me when people sell fakes from their trunk or at a stand, but this shouldnt be happening at a store like athletes foot orfoot locker. thats what happens when u hire shoe sluts to work for u. lol...

 

[crazy ebw]

Athletes Foot isn't a big name store anymore.

 

[spradley]

Athletes foot? wow. that my spot. but u can email em.
Or u can go 2 the police station. u mite get a reward lol

 

[raices03]
