So I was told (by a lifelong friend that is actually in the know and knows a lot about these companies as he interacts with them often) that these actually aren’t even ‘fake’...they are ‘real’ but don’t come with the box. ⁣

How? ⁣
⁣
So the story goes...Nike contracts a company to produce x amount of shoes and gives said company x amount of box labels and x amount of boxes. When ‘x’ number of shoes have been created and boxes have been used, the leftover materials are then used to make a few more shoes that they then sell out the back door.⁣

Unauthorized? Sure. Fake? I dunno. ⁣
⁣
It’s funny because any new release they show me they tell distinguish between real, real materials, some real materials, and straight up fake. And I believe them. Cuz if you actually look at the details - they’re the same if not better than ‘official’ pairs. And that, IMO, can be a problem for Nike.⁣
