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 upper for consistent breathability patterns and proper integration of synthetic overlays. Verify that all laser-cut edges are clean without fraying. Ensure the Gel cushioning units are properly visible and correctly positioned in both heel and forefoot areas.

2. Verify Stitching Quality

Examine all stitching lines, particularly around stress points like the toe box, heel counter, and eyelet areas. Look for consistent thread tension, proper stitch density, and absence of loose threads. Pay special attention to logo embroidery for clean execution.

3. Assemble Color Consistency

Compare the shoe colors against official ASICS product images. Check for uniform dye application across all panels. Verify that metallic or reflective elements show proper coverage without flaking or uneven application. Ensure color matching between left and right shoes.

4. Authenticity Verification

Check all branding elements including ASICS logos on tongue, heel, and side panels for correct font and placement. Verify size tags contain proper model codes (1201A019) and production information. Inspect outsole traction pattern against authentic reference images.
