Revenue on Monday put on display a selection of the more than 9,000 pairs of high-end counterfeit Nike-branded trainers which were found on a freight shipment from China earlier this month.
The estimated retail value of the 9,384 pairs, consisting of 30 different designs of runners, is €1,736,040 or €185 each if sold at full retail value.
Revenue officers at the Dublin Mail Centre (DMC) put some of the fake Nike trainers on display on Monday to illustrate the issue of counterfeit goods.
