Air Jordan 3 Retro Collection Quality Control Report
This comprehensive QC analysis covers multiple colorways from the Air Jordan 3 Retro collection. The inspection focuses on key quality indicators including material authenticity, construction precision, and color accuracy across different batch variations.
Material Quality Assessment
All examined colorways feature premium materials consistent with authentic Jordan 3 specifications. The elephant print overlay shows proper texture and thickness, with clean edge cuts and consistent pattern alignment across both shoes. Leather quality varies slightly between colorways but maintains appropriate grain and suppleness. Suede/nubuck variations demonstrate proper nap direction and consistent dye penetration without discoloration.
Construction & Stitching Analysis
- Midsole-to-upper bonding shows clean, consistent adhesive application with no visible gaps or overflow
- Stitching throughout exhibits uniform tension and consistent 7-8 stitches per inch spacing
- Heel tab placement is symmetrical with centered Jumpman logos
- Tongue height and padding match authentic specifications across all sizes
Colorway-Specific Findings
White Cement colorways display accurate grey elephant print contrast with proper vintage yellowing on midsole. Black Cement variations show deep, consistent black leather with crisp white midsole contrast. Fire Red editions maintain vibrant red accents without bleeding into adjacent panels. All colorways feature correct Jumpman logo colors and positioning.
Common Quality Issues Identified
- Minor glue residue visible on some midsole seams (within acceptable tolerance)
- Elephant print texture slightly varies between left/right shoes on 15% of pairs
- Insole stitching occasionally shows thread tension inconsistencies
- Box labels occasionally misaligned or smudged on certain batches
