Legal Question in Business Law in New York

I resell designer goods on eBay and was thinking to open an actual store in NY. I buy merchandise in outlet stores,my question is is it legal to resell lets say designer shoes or clothes (Gucci, Christian Louboutin,etc.) if you are not their legal distributor, will I have a problem when I open the store and resell their goods purchased on sales?

In general, under the first sale doctrine, as long as the goods were purchased in the U.S., they are permitted to be sold.
