Very true, and just like everything else these types of stores carry, eventually it will just go away. Pretty much everyone had a peacoat last year, but that doesn't make having one is bad.

I wouldn't call it plagarism.
You could then say all those guys wearing repro cuts are supporting plagarism.

Yes but in those cases the copies are improvements on the original which are no longer in original production so your argument fails.

And yes they are plagiarized copies of redwings, clarks, etc no different than buying a fake rolex.

What is the difference between homage and plagiarism? Would it have anything to do, in your opinion, with the respect and recognition given to the original design?

I'm afraid to answer that question out of fear of another correction.
