Oak Forest police officers discovered 15,000 pairs of counterfeit Nike sneakers in storage units last week. The shoes were in boxes and on pallets, apparently ready to be shipped, and police say they have a street value of $750,000. So far, no arrests have been made, but it's the largest sneaker bust ever in the Midwest. [Southtown Star]
