Police say they have confiscated 50,000 pairs of knockoff Nike sneakers and as many as 40,000 counterfeit handbags from a warehouse in Queens.
They say the phony goods are likely from China and have a street value of $4.5 million (euro2.9 million).
There have been no arrests in connection with the Thursday raid.
Along with the sneakers and bags, authorities say they found 5,000 pieces of clothing bearing fake labels for popular brands.
The New York Police Department says it will take eight tractor trailers to haul away the shoes and clothing. The NYPD calls the raid one of the biggest in the city's recent history.
