Sneaker manufacturers have been losing millions in revenue every year due to the sale of counterfeit and fake sneakers. Nike and Air Jordans continue to be at the top of the list of sneakers being sold around the world that are replicas of the originals, while the companies miss out on sales.
There was such high demand for certain releases and silhouettes at one point that it opened the door for imitations, which led reportedly to an oversaturated market and distrust from consumers who were looking to shop online. Companies like StockX have reported a drop in interest in those brands in recent years, and predicted the ascend of others like ASICS and Adidas.
However, the most counterfeited sneakers in history still all belong under the Nike umbrella according to a recent report published by the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
From Travis Scott’s sneakers to SB Dunks and Jordan 1s, take a look at the most counterfeited shoes in sneakers history, so far.
