The grey market discussion is funny. It's like some dudes try to justify paying more than retail for fakes.
Would you pay more than retail for a fake dooney and bourke bag for your girl? Would she accept it? It's made by the same companies, you can't hardly tell. They use the same materials
What happen to paying $50 for fakes?

I actually think a lot of people just don't care and they want to remain ignorant or convince themselves otherwise.

Yeah, you literally have to direct all your attention to specific areas of the shoe to see any visible defects. And of course there are going to be defects because these factories are passing off any shoes that would normally be deemed "B-grade" by Nike officials. So it's really not that big of a deal....

You think JB will eat that cost? No, they'll pass it on to you. Then you'll complain about that.

Find me some authentic concords, space Jams or breds right now in a size 12 for within $50 of retail. I'll wait.

Also, I'd like to see these grey market pairs up against retail. I'm no expert on 1's, but side by side comparisons would be the best thing to look at it.

That is the only way to compare. Most of the stuff that Jordan releases officially these days is garbage quality anyways tho.

So, because of that you'll get "grey markets"
So when you're out and you see someone wearing obvious fake XI's that aren't even in the right colorway, do you think a grey market is better?

no one said they would eat the cost. they would obviously pass it on to the consumer.

depends on what makes a sneaker fake to himSo, because of that you'll get "grey markets"

are sneakers fake because they didn't get a Nike rep's okay, or are they fake because they were made with different materials by people not employed by Nike

We aren't talking about Spongebob or clear Jordans here, son. We are talking about kicks that are identical to the official release. The only difference is that they didn't hit the middleman and accrue that extra cost.
