Can someone tell me the difference between unauthorized and authorized Air Jordan's

unauthorized is a term gullible people use for fakes thinking they were made in a Nike factory after hours. which is not the case, if it was they would be perfect and for years have the same inconsistent flaws and wrong materials or different grade of materials used. and also used by people that sell fakes sometimes to fool other gullible people.

GM/unauthorized it's all fakes.

Agreed. Unauthorized is just a term someone made up to call these better looking fakes. Some people are ok with them since they look close to real thing. But let's get that straight, they are anything but legit. So let's not encourage others to give their opinions on this debatable topic.

Bottom line, there are only legit/authorized shoes and fake/unauthorized shoes PERIOD

Thanks guys you really cleared that up for me I have one last question I read on some sites saying that unauthorized Jordan's are the ones that didn't meet the the standards to be sold at retail stores I forgot what website said this but they said the shoes that don't pass the inspection gets shipped by someone who made the shoes that did pass the inspection to these websites that usually sells fakes

that's what bgrades are and the only people that sell those is Nike themselves through their outlets

unauthorized are NOT b grades. they ARE fakes
b grades are legit and will have the size tag stamped

Yup. That is correct.

B-Grades - 100% legit retail pairs that did not pass quality inspection and get sold at the Nike Outlets.

Authentic/Authorized - 100% legit pairs from your known retail shoe stores.

Unauthorized - 100% fake. Term used by sellers to make people think they are legit. Did NOT come from Nike factories. There are actually lots of videos and pics of these 'unauthorized' shoes coming from replica factories and as everyone knows, replicas are 10000% fake.
