In my case the shoes I liked were completely redesigned - new materials, new style ... and not only marketed under the same name but THE SAME SKU NUMBER.

Are those a scarce resource or something?

The old ones were quality and have rave reviews. Of course they put the new ones that are just cheap crap on the same SKU.

The weird thing though is it wasn't even "cheap crap". They were fine, quality shoes -- just completely different.
