ROMPIN' AND STOMPIN' IN MY NATE DELTA FORCE

Behold! The Nate ALBs.

The boldness of the Chinese to blatantly rip off Western trademarks never ceases to astound me. When I was in Kunming, China, I saw this unique pair of almost-branded shoes. The box said "Just Do It." The front tongue said they were Nike, and they smelled and had the distinctive "swoosh" of Nike shoes. But these were not Nike, they were Nate.

These Nates only cost me around ten Singapore dollars. Unfortunately they are cheap and of poor quality. There's really no way that I'm going to "Just Do" anything in these shoes except maybe walk to the store. They'd qualify as a bona fide blister factory if I tried to run or play sports in these cheap, no-arch-support shoes.
It looks just like a Nike shoe.

Unlike the back, the front tongue says Nike.

There's no link for this post.
You can't but these things online.

Nice post!! Its very easy to find fake Nike shoes in the market at very cheap cost, but those are in poor quality. I always shopping at Foot Locker for pure and genuine quality.
