Nike Air Jordan 3 Retro Collection Quality Control Report
This comprehensive QC analysis covers multiple colorways of the Air Jordan 3 Retro, examining construction quality, material authenticity, and manufacturing consistency across different production batches. The Jordan 3's iconic design elements require meticulous inspection to ensure premium quality standards.
Upper Construction & Materials
The elephant print overlays show consistent texture and depth across all inspected pairs, with proper grain pattern alignment at the toe box and heel counter. Genuine leather panels exhibit uniform thickness and appropriate tumbling, with no signs of synthetic substitution. Suede/nubuck sections (where applicable by colorway) demonstrate correct nap direction and consistent dye penetration without patchiness.
Midsole & Outsole Quality
Midsole paint application shows clean separation lines between colors with minimal overspray. The visible Air unit windows maintain proper transparency and correct positioning relative to the midsole. Outsole traction patterns display sharp, well-defined edges with consistent depth across all sections. Rubber compound hardness tests within acceptable parameters for durability and grip performance.
Stitching & Assembly Details
- Quarter panel stitching maintains consistent 6-7 stitches per inch with uniform tension
- Jumpman logos on tongue and heel show precise embroidery with clean thread termination
- Lace eyelets feature reinforced stitching with no loose threads or skipped stitches
- Inner lining seams demonstrate proper finishing with no exposed raw edges
Colorway-Specific Observations
White Cement colorways show correct grey elephant print contrast with proper aging effect. Black Cement variations maintain deep, consistent black dye without purple undertones. Fire Red editions display vibrant, non-fading red accents with proper color blocking alignment. All inspected pairs maintain color consistency between left and right shoes within acceptable manufacturing tolerances.
