Abstract

Based on the Engel-Kollat-Blackwell model of consumer behaviors, this study aimed to understand university students’ consumer decision-making patterns for counterfeit sport shoes, including the effect of needs (functional needs, symbolic needs, and experiential needs), information search, price, brand awareness, and the price-performance ratio on repurchase intentions. This study adopts a convenient sampling method to investigate university students who have purchased counterfeit sport shoes. A total of 234 valid questionnaires were collected. The results of the partial least squares (PLS) analysis showed that the university students, searched for product information when having the functional needs and symbolic needs for sport shoes. This study shows that after students have conducted a product search, the price, brand awareness, and price-performance ratio affected them repurchase intentions. The findings of this study could provide a reference for practical actions to resist counterfeit sport shoes.
