Maybe it came from the replacement insoles you put in?

Wow, I have a sweaty foot but I've never seen mold in my sneakers.
Did these get wet or did the moisture come from sweating?
Really unbelievable.
Can you confirm these are authentic and not some knock-off 's?

Those are the original insoles.
I got them from FNL on release day, raffle win, picked up right after the store opened that morning.
I never got them wet nor do my feet sweat excessively. None of my other Js or Nike runners have ever done this. I'm baffled.

Perhaps the insoles were wet/damp at the factory and developed mold during the ocean transport.
Definitely wipe the inside of the shoe with a paper towel misted with a combination of 50% water & 50% bleach.
That will kill the active mold

I saw a pair with mold under the translucent outsole before. I'm sure more people unknowingly have that same problem.

Yes, now that you mention it I do recall seeing a pair of KD 3 ASG's with that red translucent sole. And yes it certainly had some visible mold.

Since the Metallic V's are not more than a year old it would be prudent to contact Nike.
At the least, send them the photos and ask for a discount code if they cannot replace or refund
The receipt would be helpful when contacting them to prove this is an authorized pair

I forgot to mention that mold is extremely hostile for the foam PU which our Jordan's are made from.

Remember how some sneakers were being sent back to Nike because of mold issues when they arrived at retailers?
This could be the same thing only not immediately visible. Possibly bey true that others have the same issue but don't know

Dammit I wanna check mine now but I'm too lazy to dig em out 
I've only worn once and store in cool dry area so if I have mold I can guarantee a factory issue

That's my plan, I'm going to call up Nike tomorrow morning. Will snap a pic of my receipt as well in case I need to email them.
