Nike Air Max 97 Quality Control Report

This comprehensive inspection covers the Nike Air Max 97 sneakers across multiple colorways. The Air Max 97 features a distinctive wavy upper design, full-length Air Max unit, and reflective 3M details that require careful examination.

Upper Construction

The synthetic leather and mesh upper should show precise panel alignment with clean, consistent stitching throughout. Check that the signature wavy lines follow the correct curvature pattern without distortion. The reflective 3M strips along the sides must be properly positioned and free from peeling or bubbling.

Midsole & Outsole

Inspect the full-length visible Air Max unit for clarity and proper inflation. There should be no cloudiness or air bubbles in the unit. The outsole pattern should match authentic specifications with clean, deep traction grooves. The transition between midsole and upper should be seamless without glue stains or separation.

Details & Finishing

Swoosh placement: Check positioning on both shoes matches authentic placement
Heel tab: Should be centered with clean embroidery on the Nike logo
Tongue labels: Verify correct font, spacing, and stitching
Insole: Check for proper Nike branding and cushioning quality
Color consistency: Ensure color matches across all panels and between left/right shoes

The overall shape should maintain the characteristic Air Max 97 silhouette with proper toe box curvature and heel structure. Weight distribution should feel balanced when comparing both shoes.

How to Inspect Air Max 97 QC Photos

When viewing Quality Control (QC) photos for the Air Max 97, pay close attention to the following details:

1. Check Upper Alignment

Examine the wavy panel alignment across both shoes. The lines should flow smoothly from toe to heel without distortion. Verify that reflective 3M strips are properly positioned and securely attached.

2. Inspect Air Max Unit

Check the full-length visible Air Max unit for clarity and proper inflation. Look for cloudiness, air bubbles, or deformation. Ensure the unit is securely bonded to the midsole without separation.

3. Verify Stitching Quality

Inspect all stitching for consistency in tension, spacing, and thread color. Pay special attention to high-stress areas like the toe box and heel. Look for loose threads or skipped stitches.

4. Compare Symmetry

Place both shoes side by side and compare all elements: Swoosh placement, heel tab alignment, tongue height, and overall shape. Check that color consistency matches between left and right shoes.
