What do you mean? It's designed by throwing stupid stuff on the wall until something sticks, like nornal, like everything is designed :confused:

What I don't get about knockoffs/fakes is why they don't just copy the name. Is it that the simple misspelling is enough to keep the IP lawyers at bay? They are in China, wtf are they going to do?

Adidas probably wouldn't have manufacturing in China for long if the officials didn't react to a factory next to theirs making shoes with Adidas text and logo. Odidos and a four leaf logo are not so in the face so officials can pretend ignorance.

They did this all the time when I lived in Thailand. Goods were broken into three categories:

Real: legit offerings from the actual distributor
Real fake: shockingly well-made facsimiles that are hard to tell from the real thing
Fake: the poo poo in this video

Night markets usually had the best real fake poo poo. I had a few pairs of real fake Onitsuka Tigers that lasted me years. When I eventually moved to Japan they fooled everyone I worked with.

Thailand loving rules.

Thailand also has some massive lakes that resorts stock so if you ever wanted to catch a 150lb catfish, well there ya go.

Also there's a genuine market for obvious knockoffs. There's a segment of a couple different age groups defined by both income (lower middle) and desired class status (middle) that buys it on purpose because it sends the right message for the right price
