More than 14,800 pairs of fake Nikes were discovered in a shipment of boxes marked "napkins" at the L.A./Long Beach Seaport, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers revealed Wednesday.

The counterfeit Air Jordans have a street value of at least $2 million, authorities say.

"Counterfeit brand-name shoes is a multi-million dollar criminal industry," says CBP port director LaFonda Sutton-Burke.
