its repetitive so copy & paste
Nike workers who smuggle shoe parts out of the factory in their clothes or literally fling them over the back fences.”
even without this proof, the proof is right on the shoe itself..

bel airs shown above are replica fakes
so called GMs are just replicas, some peoples definition of GM doesnt even match the shoe
it just varies how much youre willing to pay
ive had many different pairs & held these so called grey market authentics, let me tell you its not the same . not the same material, not the same mold, not the same craftsmanship, no way its from the same factory. Fakes are just better in 2013, especially if you pay them enough $$$ to make a replica of a shoe that cost Nike $25 to make.. newer shoes like Kobe 8s for example theyre not as good at faking them yet, why do you think you cant even find a replica/gm with the proper engineered mesh right now.
“There’s no way to get inside anymore,” Lin told me, describing the enhanced security measures at the licensed factories: guards, cameras and secondary outer walls. “Now we just go to a shop that sells the real shoes, buy a pair from the store and duplicate them.” Counterfeits come in varying levels of quality depending on their intended market."

its pretty clear Nike licensed factories cant be doing no third shifts.... only some of the different raw material suppliers(sub-contractors) Nike orders from are capable of doing 3rd shifts, & sell raw materials to replica factories.
"But Nike maintains that its real problem isn’t these rogue mom-and-pop sweatshops. Much of the illicit fare in the markets is the genuine article, made by their own subcontractors.“Some of the clothing…appeared to be high-quality, genuine products being sold at low prices…. This is likely the result of ‘third-shift’ manufacturing, in which factories produce extras to sell on the side….”
Swooshes and other genuine Nike materials are often obtained from “recyclers, scavengers or from Nike workers who smuggle shoe parts out of the factory in their clothes or literally fling them over the back fences.”

you know its NOT from the same factory/3rd shifts when workers had to do that just to sneak a shoe out
if i order 20,000 Royals from them, or 20,000 45- Sample Concords they would say yes...
so did they fling 20,000 pairs over the fence or hide 20,000 pairs in their undies?
anyways like I said these shoes are not even the same material/mold/craftsmanship/ & flaws that consistently & only exist in fakes,
so any argument here is pretty much invalid
