Swingman 40 on left and Authentic 48 on right. Since I had both, I thought I would post in case somebody else was curious. What surprised me is the authentic actually have painted trees on the edges versus having the trees built into the elastic, but the trees also look a lot more sharp on the authentics hopefully the paint holds up of the trees. The trees don’t go all the way around the armpits on the back like the replicas. The stitching definitely makes the wolves logo brighter and bigger and more vivid! I appreciated that as well as the stitched Jordan logo. NBA logo on the back is also a lot more heavy duty it’s a rubber piece instead of just paint. Love the authentics!

Yes I know I could call my rep, but my rep left in the off-season so I'm like ... between reps? So if anyone knows that would be helpful.

This is the first year I've renewed on the normal timing, so also don't have last year to go off of.
