What's even making these bgrades?

Whenever the quality control people at nike see a shoe with a flaw, they pull out the previous 50 pairs that were made just in case there are flaws with them too. They mark all of them b-grade and send them to outlets. This pair most likely does not have anything wrong with it.

Good info, wasn't aware of it, that explains a lot of perfect B grades we can find sometimes.

No, B grades are basically legit shoes that did not pass the quality control. Thus, their UPC tag gets stamped with a handwritten B (usually red or orange) and they are sent to outlets.

Sometimes, scammers are trying to sell fakes by saying "those are b grades" and by taking advantage of buyers not being aware of what exactly B grades are.

So basically:

B grades = legit shoe with a stamp on the UPC tag and some (possible) flaws (as @RickyRiebel stated above, it's not true all of the time).
