not if you're looking for something to ball in, back in 05 i was at a nike outlet and pickedup 2 pairs of grey toe 13s, and only cuz of minor bleeding of the pods. I still play in them today, the bleeding is literally the only problem there is with them, plus they were 60% off.

Amen to that.
That's why having connect is good in situation like these.
Unless OP is looking for GR stuff.

There is (usually) absolutely nothing wrong with B-grades. As has been said, you really aren't going to see any noticeable differences between them and "A-grades" (based on how some people have been complaining/some of the Jordan Cement 3 problems, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the B-grades look better than a few of those).

B-grades don't compare to fakes in any way. B-grades are still 100% authentic product.

Usually, B-grades won't come with their original box (but sometimes they do). Usually, they have a "B" stamped on the size tag (but sometimes they don't)... or a "BG" on the box (well, that was back in the day anyway)... the obvious one is the big "Cosmetic Seconds" stamp they put on some of the boxes.

They are "officially" found at Nike Factory Stores, as everyone has been saying.

Well said.

Back in 2001 while shopping at my local Outlet, I was very fortunate to find a pair of B-Grade Concord 11's sz 9 for $39.99(priced wrong of course). I sold them for $250 in NDS condition with yellowed mesh and yellowed soles. There was nothing noticeably wrong with them when I bought them except that there was a very minor spot of glue on the toebox (no bigger than 2 millimeters), no box, no retro card, and that was it. I was lucky at that time to know someone who worked there
