If kona keeps making bikes like the kona unit, I don't think they'll have any brand problems either.
Nike started making them in Japan when they were called BRS. But even they started making them "cheaper" using sweatshops and child labor. Heck even the Chinese went on strike because their wages were too low. If nike had kept manufacturing in Japan and with matching inflation the shoes would cost way more then $300 and Nike would have been out of business a long time ago.
