So what's to stop shoe manufacturers basically flooding the market with collectibles, or china, or wherever catching on and producing fakes of the originals.

This doesn't seem to have the traits you'd want from an investment.

Nothing, This is currently quite a common thing with factories in china producing these on mass. Check out the subreddit repsneakers the fakes(Replicas as they call them) even come with StockX tags for reselling online as authentic.

Nike tried flooding the market with Jordans, and they quickly lost their desirability on the streets. Nike has said they plan to keep the shoes in limited supplies to prevent this from happening again.
