Replicating Louboutin's trademark red sole New York - Arabstoday Nearly 20,500 pairs of fake Christian Louboutin luxury shoes, shipped from China have been seized by customs agents in Los Angeles, according US officials. The counterfeit lacquered "red sole" shoes could have brought $18 million if they had reached the online and underworld market in the country, according to US Customs and Border Protection officials. Between July 17 and August 14, US customs and border import specialists and officers discovered five shipments from China , with each style replicating Louboutin's trademark red sole. The shoes, which are said to be "very good counterfeits", will most likely be destroyed. Louboutin's signature red soles have been the subject of much contention over the past year, the designer is currently embroiled in a high-profile lawsuit with Yves Saint Laurent, who he says has copied his designs. Last month, he lost a court battle with high street chain Zara, over allegations it had replicated one of his designs. The vaunted French designer's shoes are worn by celebrities and royalty.
