of course ... i'm sure all this crap comes from the same taiwanese factory ... it's like a Mc Donalds menue ... just make your basic order and then choose your favorite label style and think of an imaginary company name that'll be slapped on there
i still believe that this is how it worked.
there might have been a few more middlemen (like Ample) but i strongly believe that there wasn't much more than a handfull of production facilities in taiwan, indonesia, thailand ....
this is still how the sneaker market works nowadays ... most sneakers are made at the same facility 40 miles away from hongkong: nike, adidas, reebook, lots of skate shoes ... all come from the same factory. and most of their false replicas from a factory in guangzhou
