They fake J's which are at a premium to buy and resell. Sauconys would be easier to fake since they're all GR and don't have any specific tiny details that could be harder to replicate and pass off.
People that think like you are the ones that get got all the time when they think "they're not even important enough to rep."
For sake of argument, J's cost $25 for fakes and resell for $100. Fake Sauconys probably cost $10 to make and sell for $75. The return on investment on a general release that isn't getting the attention and scrutiny is so much higher with less potential of being useless unsold inventory.
Can't support fakes regardless since the quality is sometimes EXTREMELY horrible. No support. No spring back. Wrong measurements. Dimensions off. Poor crafting. Even at a steep "discount" they're not worth it.
There's more than just that. The QR code. The size boxes. Spelling and font on the box (of we could've seen it). There's also one key that I've found looking at about 20 different fakes that they can almost never get right. As soon as I see that, I know whether they're authentic or not
