100% legit B-Grade Gamma 11's.

thank you for your reply. what you mean by B Grade? is it 100% authentic from nike store or online ? is that worth about $300 ?

B-grade means that it was made at the Nike factory along with all the retail pairs, but theres a flaw in the shoe so it didnt pass the inspection to actually go to retail.  It could be that there are glue marks, stitching is off, scratches, etc, hence getting the B stamp. Nike rounds up these pairs and release them at the Nike Factory stores.  You'd expect these to be cheaper than retail price, but the outlet store sells them for around the same as retail. I'd say 300 for b-grade is too steep. Another big throw off is that it does not come with the OG box. As you know the OG box for 11 high has that nice plastic cover along with "carbon fiber" wrapper.  For me, OG box means a lot, especially on special boxes like these.  For you, it may not; its just preference.  All in all, I think $300 is too much, if you search around you can probably find retail pairs for $300, especially at that size.

you can get a non b-grade pair for under $300.

Thank you guys! I have another question. I found a picture of shoe-pad of a real one from web, but it's quite different from what I got. Would you please have a look at them?

The second pic is mine. it's kind of made from foam plastic or paper.

Gammas had grey insoles. You're good those are 100% legit. Probably came from the Nike outlet which obviously would have authentic shoes including B-grades.
