While walking around Istanbul in November I passed through one of those underpasses that is filled with miscellaneous retail. This one in particular was after you cross the Galata bridge and head into Eminonu Square. I took a very brief and semi-useless video that gives some idea of the place.
I cut the video right before it pans to the wall of knock off sneakers. Normally I'm not stopping to check out knockoff sneakers. Plenty of opportunity to buy those here in la CDMX. But they had the New Balance type that are currently fascinating my wife and her friends. So I picked up a pair for the nice price of 600 TRY (approx 17 euro, cash only; credit to the guy manning the stall who took my 20 euro and gave me the TRY equivalent in change rather than simply telling me the price is 20 euro take it or leave it).
Comfy so far. TBD how long they last, but I feel confident I will get 17 euro of value out of them.
