 Taobao pairs are not B grades. They are GM pairs. If people are calling them B grades then they have no idea what they are talking about. This is discussed at length in other forums. A shoe is an A grade unless it has been deemed a B grade by nike. Even if it has flaws. If what you are saying...

I personally would not make a judgement based on comparing two different releases of shoes. It is possible that JB had slightly different specs for the two releases and there is a good chance that they were not even made by the same contracted factory. There are many possible reasons for the...

(1) We are talking about making shoes in the actual Nike factory with the exact same materials, not someone taking the finished product and adding some paint and touch ups after the fact. If you added paint to a pair of legit Jordans they would still be legit, just custom. (2) Last time I...
