Another small victory in the fight against counterfeit sneakers has taken place in Russia.
According to The Moscow Times, Security officers have detained 46 illegal Chinese workers that were working at a sweatshop in the Ural mountains that produced fake footwear featuring "logos of well-known international brands". The report doesn't get any more detailed than that as far as which sneakers were being produced, but it does mention that the workshop was on the premises of a local bread factory, so perhaps they turned it into another sort of "Bred" factory. See the photography here that depicts the unfortunate conditions at the counterfeit sneaker factory and stay tuned to see if this slows the flow of Jordans to your "early connect" this holiday season.
