Just to follow up with you.
So far the counterfeit pants have been holding up great. My genuine addidas pants have all suffered from pilling but this one hasn't yet. Let's see what happens in another month.
Isn't you and I driving also important to the country's economic activity? I drive to work, I drive to the stores. I drive to the gym and recreational activities. That's all economic activity.
I'll check aliexpress but generally speaking I like to try on clothes before I buy them.
As I said I was surprised that the counterfeit was actually better than the original in many ways. It kind of sucks that we don't have access to these goods readily in NZ. Why should I go buy a blank ugly pair of sweatpants from Kmart when I can buy a much. better looking one of same or similar quality one from another vendor?
I do actually like the branding which is why I bought the counterfeit pants. I think they look nicer than the run of the mill sweatpants.
Oddly enough adidas changed the styling on their pants this year and I like the new designs less than the old ones so this makes the counterfeit ones even more desirable.
Wasn't it proven corruption when John Key appointed one of his buddies to a high paying position and made a backroom deal with Sky and Warner and then got a job with a Chinese bank?
Seems weird to kick out a politician for being corrupt. That would mean at least two thirds should be gone. Certainly everybody in NACT for sure.
