then for garbage b-grades, why did "Jordan Brand" make or "authorize"them to make a keychain when they don't even bother on including it with authentic retail version? or give them a specific laces that is so off? Doesn't make sense.
and people are seriously going to believe concords with 45 popping out of thin air?
well people have their own opinions and from lurking and reading through posts, it's clear that people who believe that they are "authentic but only b-grades" are going to stick with that opinion unless Nike intervenes, which I doubt it's going to happen.
And people who think that these sites are legit because Nike/JB is not doing anything....did you hear about the fake Apple stores in China? If Apple can't even shut down a physical store out in the public that is selling fake products, I want to see how Nike/Jordan Brand is going to handle these websites.
