The WaPo (found by you-know-who) picks up the European terminology for its official cap:
A wheel loader moves shredded counterfeit trainers curing an operation by the customs authority in Hamburg, Germany.
IotD often has these kinds of shots, of counterfeit material being destroyed. Usually it's CDs and DVDs in smaller Asian nations, but somehow somebody has figured out how to make a counterfeit buck on Nikes. I'm amazed at the volume, but since Nikes are already manufactured at low cost Asian labor mills, you'd need volume to make money on fake ones, even considering the high profit margins built into $100 and up "trainers".
It just goes to show the power of a strong brand, I guess.
