Default Name Brand Items

How difficult is it to buy brand name items in the DR. Items such as Levi shorts or New Balance tennis shoes ( examples). I am going to spend six monthes in Cabarete starting in July. Will I have to go to Santiago or can I find brand name items closer to Cabarete?

Nearly impossible in Cabarete.
Levi's brand, maybe. Authentic, perhaps.
New Balance, I doubt.

All are most likely cheaper to bring with you than to buy here.

Buy all the kool clothing you want before coming.
It will cost you less, be easier to find where you now live, and your selection will be far greater.
