What do you think about 'made for outlet' Vans?

I've been wearing Vans most of my life and typically buy them from Vans direct so only recently learned about what I would call sanctioned counterfeits of the real thing, otherwise known as 'made for outlet' shoes. I was having issues with a pair of Van old skool hi tops I bought at a Sports Direct in the UK only to learn now they're not the real thing. Cheap materials and manufacturing with a Vans logo, not much better than a counterfeit. Looking on Amazon kept seeing designs I'm not familiar with, and this would be why.

I was shoe shopping today and only one store had real Vans, everywhere else had these outlet shoes in store. Kinda feels deceptive to me to be honest. What do you think?
