Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

The purchasing of replica clothing in itself is permissible.

However, if it will place one in a compromising situation from an ethical or legal point of view, then it would be best to avoid it and to rather purchase other similar types of clothing.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
