Where can I buy counterfeit clothing? (self.newzealand)

I was traveling overseas and I bought a pair of counterfeit adidas pants for 10 bucks or so. I have been wearing this for a while now and in my opinion it's superior the adidas pants I normally buy at rebel sports for 100 bucks or so. The pockets are deeper and the logo is sewn in rather than one of those plasticy stick on things. Also the fabric hasn't pilled yet which happens to my genuine adidas pants rather quickly.

The thing is they look just like the real branded goods, down the the labels inside. You really can't tell them apart except maybe the fabric is a little thinner (which I actually like).

Are there places in NZ where I can buy counterfeit goods? I never realised they would be better than the real things.

I'll check aliexpress but generally speaking I like to try on clothes before I buy them.

Yeah, good luck with that. Maybe try car boot sales if they exist.

But we live in the western world, the powers at be generally enforce and protect IP.
