The fact that everyone is wearing a suit of similar design doesn't say much about the actual suit. My understanding is that there's quite a lot of R&D that goes into tweaking a suit or a shoe, and that a company doesn't necessarily make their new design available to everybody. Certainly, everyone is going to try to copy each ohter but that doesn't mean that they do so successfully. I think there may be a sizable advantage to teams that have access to the top companies' products.
