Following the claim that the sneakers were fake, Nike visited the reseller and confirmed that 38 pairs of sneakers received by the customer from StockX had indeed been fake.

Nice Kicks details the reseller received 38 pairs of fake sneakers. The discovery came as the reseller was seeking to purchase pairs of University Blue, Mocha, and Hyper Royal Air Jordan 1s.

A group that allegedly smuggled more than 300,000 pairs of fake Nike Air Jordan sneakers into New York and New Jersey was broken up Tuesday by Homeland Security Investigations and NYPD detectives.

Fake Air Jordan sneakers have, very unfortunately, become the norm in recent years with both blatant fakes and "grey market" sneakers flooding the scene by the thousands.
