These sneakers are B Grade

B grade means a shoe has minor flaws from the manufacturing process.  These can include small stains, slight discoloration, or minor imperfections in the stitching or materials.  The defects are usually cosmetic and don't affect the shoe's performance or structural integrity.

The AJ4 "Rare Air" pays homage to unexpected beginnings. When the AJ1 first released, it sparked worldwide acclaim—but not before one too many incorrect samples landed at retail partners around the globe, revealing the imperfect hodgepodge placements of logos, stitches and more. A fresh interpretation of the AJ4 "Rare Air" series is here.
The premium mix of leather and suede combine with signature Jumpman DNA colors to honor Jordan heritage. Nike Air heel branding, stamped "Rare Air" insoles and removable tongue patches create a rare edition that reminds us how to turn flaws into awes.
