@timmybrixxx unauthorized authentics is an oxymoron. Lol
I can go on forever about this but Timmy is right, RD pairs are all made the same regardless of if they're overseas or US pairs. Only thing that differs is price, stickers/labels in on the box/shoes. If it comes from Nike, that's the ONLY authentic version. There is no middle ground. No reason for "unauthorized" pairs to have certain aspects of the shoe made differently. They're made differently because they're not the same shoe! Which means they aren't authentic. There is no 'sorta authentic' or 'almost authentic' shoe. People are just getting really good at replicating shoes to the T and somebody somewhere came up with calling them "unauthorized" to make them more appealing for people to be okay with. They're not the same shoe, and they're not from Nike unless someone that works directly under Nike confirms that. All these rumors about unauthorized/grey market shoes were probably started by the ones selling them to people and telling them these lies to make the sale and to appear authentic. That's all it is.
