QC: Air Force 1 (White Color)

QC: Air Force 1 (White Color)

Just got the QC photos for these Nike Air Force 1s and honestly they look really good for the price. I paid around 17 dollars, so I wanted to see what others think before I ship them.

First Look

At first glance, these look really solid. The overall AF1 shape is there, with the classic bulky sole and clean low-top silhouette looking pretty accurate.

The proportions between the toe box, side panels, and heel look balanced, and the Swoosh placement seems good from the QC photos.

Details

From the QC photos:

  • Toe box shape looks good and not overly bulky
  • Perforations on the toe box look evenly spaced
  • Swooshes look properly shaped and well positioned
  • Leather upper looks consistent and fairly smooth
  • Side panels look clean with no obvious warping
  • Heel shape looks balanced
  • Nike Air branding on the heel looks centered and clean
  • Tongue tag placement looks correct
  • Stitching around the panels and Swoosh looks consistent
  • Midsole looks clean with no major glue stains
  • Sole shape and thickness look proportional
  • Overall symmetry between both shoes looks good

Nothing major stands out as a flaw from the pictures.

Extras

They usually come with the standard Nike box and the usual packaging depending on the batch, which is pretty much what you would expect at this price point.

Overall

For around 17 dollars, these look like a very solid pickup. Air Force 1s are a relatively simple shoe, so getting the overall shape, Swoosh placement, toe box, and stitching right matters the most, and these seem to do that well from the QC photos.

They obviously won't be completely perfect, but visually they look clean for the price.

Just got the QC photos for these Air Jordan 4 sneakers and honestly they look better than expected for the price. I paid around 45€, so I wanted to see what others think before I ship them.

First Look
At first glance these look really solid. The overall silhouette is there, with the chunky midsole and the classic AJ4 shape looking pretty accurate. The cage on the sides and the tongue height seem well proportioned, and the color blocking looks close to retail.

The Jumpman/Nike Air branding (depending on the version) on the tongue and heel looks clean and not distorted.

Details
From the QC photos:

  • Mesh panels look properly placed and not too wide
  • Side cages look structured and evenly aligned
  • Leather/nubuck upper looks consistent (not overly plastic)
  • Tongue shape and height look correct
  • Jumpman logo looks decently shaped and centered
  • Heel tab looks well positioned and not too thin
  • Midsole paint looks clean with no major bleeding
  • Air unit looks clear and properly set
  • Stitching around panels looks consistent
  • Toe box shape looks balanced, not too boxy

Nothing major stands out as a flaw from the pictures.

Extras
They usually come with the standard box and any extras depending on the batch, which is expected at this price point.

Overall
For this price range, these are a very solid pickup. The shape, cage structure, and overall build look good in the QC photos. They won’t be perfect, but visually they hold up well for a budget batch.
