[eli5]I see many videos of Chinese creators and there are so many wearing these same shoes. Why?

They are basic green canvas shoes with a plastic, or rubber, toe (almost like chuck taylors). The color is like a military green, and they look quite cheap. Anyone know why so many people are wearing the same shoes?

Chinese state directives limit variety in many manufactured goods, in addition to their public media being highly highly regulated and controlled by state oversight. There’s not a single creator in China that isn’t inte self monitored by the state, and which receives routine instruction.

The flip side is that they’re also the PR arm of the CCP, so they provide them with resources and materials. It may be an artifact of state control, oversight, limited market variety, or sourcing their stage outfits from the same state agency
