...has to be endemic at this point.
Right now I'm in India,
Yesterday I tried to buy some adidas joints on the local amazon website. Order completed. I see the items sold by some Cloudtail India company (apparently 80% of the sports brand items are sold by them). A couple hours later I receive the notification the items have been shipped to the local amazon warehouse to be delivered at my hotel tonight. For some reason I went back to one of the product page and read the comments more closely. This is what some breh posted

Very comfortable. superior quality of construction and its made in India!
Update(10/07/2018): If you're looking for slip-ons in adidas, consider adidas cloudfoam ultimate! This one is not as comfortable as cloudfoam ultimate. you can feel the stitches from inside! never seen this kind of thing in any other shoes! cloudfoam ultimate is absolutely like stepping in spring mattress/flower petals! This zeta is subpar! Insoles are below average. No cushioning! Midsole cloudfoam and outsole work like charm. No problem there. Only thing I am unhappy with is upper construction, insoles and inner lining which has rough stitches! You cant wear them without socks. The laces provided are very rough and stiff! Very unusual! Difficult to tie them! 3 stripes made of reflective paint may chip off if we wash shoes!
At that point I raised my eyesbrows and started taking a good look at the pics. Something just suddenly seemed off.
First thing I noticed was the stitching on this part and the cheap piece of plastic aspect
but what was really the dead giveaway is when I compared the back pictures of different colors of this same model. That inconsistency with the U shape behind !
I immediately cancelled the order. I'd chose the pay on delivery option but didn't want to get there as I don't want to have trouble with the locals here.
I then started checking some items on supposedly safer versions like amazon.de and .com and lemme tell you one thing brehs: It's A LOT of fakes being sold out there. And what's crazy is that it's a known issue but it seems like amazon is not exactly scrambling to fix this since they are taking their cuts off every transaction being on legit items or not. so brehs be careful and spread the message.
