The imitation of Kanye West's Yeezy sneakers has reportedly flooded the market out of China. People, who cannot afford the expensive sneakers originally produced by Adidas and designed by Kanye West settle for the fake.


One seller, a Singaporean national named Chan, told the Times that he sells up to 120 counterfeit pairs on any given day.  In certain cases, the shoe designs are leaked from China's two official Adidas factories to the numerous unofficial ones. 

There is even an unofficial store, called Yeezy, that sells counterfeit and knockoff shoes in Wenzhou, China, reports Mashable.
