I was told a lot of these fakes are actually authentic shoes with minor defects that didn't meet quality control standards and they're being sold online instead of being scrapped.
its true. Nike doesn't own factories, they outsource it to countries like China where they can get cheap labour.
Nike supplies the materials and molds to the Chinese factory, but obviously them Chinamen aint gonna get the shoe perfect every time. They're may be accurate as fukk but they're human
So what do they do with those extras that dont meet Nike's really strict standards? Sell them as unauthorized.
in the end you end up paying a 100% markup for minor details that you cant notice if you're not inspecting them
if nikkas cool with that then to each their own but im tryna stack so I dont need to be spending that much on shoes that are worth pennies on the dollar
