Nike Shox R4 Running Shoes Quality Control Report
This comprehensive inspection covers the Nike Shox R4 in multiple colorways, focusing on construction, materials, and performance features. The Shox R4 is known for its distinctive cushioning columns and retro running aesthetic, requiring careful attention to detail during QC.
Construction & Materials
The upper should utilize durable synthetic leather and mesh panels with consistent texture across both shoes. Check for:
- Even stitching along all seams with no loose threads or skipped stitches
- Proper alignment of overlays and panels
- Consistent glue application with no excess or visible residue
- Correct placement of the Nike Swoosh logo (size, positioning, symmetry)
Cushioning System
The Shox columns are the defining feature requiring meticulous inspection:
- All four rear columns must be properly aligned and securely attached
- Check for uniform compression when applying pressure
- Verify column height matches authentic specifications
- Inspect for cracks, deformities, or manufacturing defects in the plastic
Color & Details
Given the multiple color options available, pay special attention to:
- Color consistency between left and right shoes
- Accurate color matching to official Nike releases
- Clean, crisp printing on all logos and text elements
- Proper color blocking on multi-color variants
Final Assessment
The Nike Shox R4 should exhibit solid construction with particular focus on the integrity of the Shox cushioning system. Minor variations in stitching or materials may be acceptable, but any issues with the columns, significant color mismatches, or structural flaws warrant rejection. Always compare against authentic reference photos for your specific colorway.
