And, then paid the price.

Holy smokes!

I’ve never seen anything like it before. Literally, the Wisma Atria Mall walkways were jam-packed with people. Wall-to-wall. Front-to-back.

Apparently, the traditional “day after Christmas, rush the mall” activity common in America starts a day early here.

Or, perhaps it has something to do with stores offering great sales.

But, the only special deal I noticed was for huge crowds.

And it still doesn’t answer my question about these types of knock-off goods. Are they manufactured fakes or did they simply “fall off the truck” somewhere along the way?

Did someone re-route this batch of shoes from the Nike factory after the apparent default was discovered. Or, were the knock-off manufacturers completely inept? So many questions…

Spot the fake.

Spot the fake.
