On a recent trip to Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt I encountered some very inventive fake sneaks. Very cheap. Recbuk and Nyke were the most popular in the bazaar. Sneaker sales people here were very friendly and not at all obnoxious. Corteous and happy to bargain, well dressed in long white dresses. I can recommend them to anyone who is sick of the over-groomed staff at Niketown.

Bright pink Recbuk sandals modeled by Lan, price $3. Recbuk was one of the most popular brands, available in many different colors and designs.




The well known Nike Jaguar velcro sneaker... Note the imaginative use of the swoosh, featured upside down.
