I have a tangential bone to pick with people who worship brands like Nike and get their magnifying glass out if they suspect something is a "knockoff" or whatever.

If you have to inspect it that closely, count the stitches or whatever the fuck. It just is literally the same shoe my guy.
I don't care who made it it's a gucci nike whatever.

If you argue with me about this you're admitting that there's literally nothing special about (brand) products. It's so blatantly classist that at no point it occurs to them that if it takes that level of investigation to figure it out, they're the same shoe in any meaningful way.
