How to Inspect Asics Gel-Kayano 14 QC Photos

When viewing Quality Control (QC) photos for the Asics Gel-Kayano 14, pay close attention to the following details:

1. Check Upper Construction

Inspect the mesh and synthetic overlays for proper alignment and tension. Verify that all seams are securely stitched without loose threads or puckering. Check that the heel counter is properly integrated and provides firm support.

2. Examine Midsole Quality

Inspect the Gel cushioning units for proper positioning and uniform appearance. Check for any air bubbles or inconsistencies in the foam density. Verify that the Dynamic DuoMax support system is correctly implemented on both medial and lateral sides.

3. Verify Outsole Details

Check the AHAR+ rubber outsole for consistent tread depth and pattern alignment. Inspect the Guidance Line groove for proper depth and smooth transitions. Verify that the outsole is securely bonded to the midsole without gaps or excess glue.
