Elkski Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Some of the quality is not very good but I bought two pairs of Nike running shoes in Laos near Nong khai 2 years for 700 baht. Held together quite well. I'm not a big runner but I can do 5-7 km and no soreness. Makes one realize how much profit is in the name brand Goods. Tennis shoes have 60 baht in material and cost 5000 baht in USA or Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not difficult to imagine they would find it worthwhile to drop a few Bob in the pocket of the investigators to come down on the fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
