Nike Zoom Freak 5 '001' White Orange Quality Control Report
This comprehensive inspection covers the Nike Zoom Freak 5 '001' basketball shoes in the White Orange colorway. As a professional streetwear QC expert, I've examined these performance shoes against Nike's quality standards, focusing on construction, materials, and visual details that affect both aesthetics and functionality.
Upper Construction & Materials
The shoe's upper combines engineered mesh with synthetic overlays in the signature '001' color blocking. The white mesh panels show consistent weave density with no visible defects or loose threads. Orange synthetic overlays are properly aligned with clean, precise cutting. The TPU heel counter is securely bonded with no gaps or misalignment. The tongue features correct padding thickness and proper Nike branding placement.

Stitching throughout the shoe demonstrates excellent craftsmanship:
- Upper stitching shows consistent thread tension with no loose ends or skipped stitches
- Midsole-to-upper bonding is clean with minimal glue residue
- Orange accent stitching on the Swoosh logos is precise and uniform
- Internal stitching in the collar and tongue area is neat and secure
Midsole & Outsole Inspection
The Zoom Air midsole unit shows proper molding with no visible air bubbles or deformation. The two-piece outsole features:
- Correct traction pattern depth and consistency
- Proper alignment of the forefoot and heel sections
- Clean rubber compound with no discoloration
- Accurate Nike and Zoom branding on the outsole
Branding & Final Details
All branding elements meet Nike's specifications. The lateral Swoosh logos are correctly positioned with proper proportions. The '001' text on the medial side shows clean printing with sharp edges. The heel tab features accurate 'Freak' branding with proper font and spacing. The insole graphics are aligned correctly with no smudging or fading.
Overall, this pair demonstrates excellent manufacturing quality with attention to detail in construction, materials, and finishing. The shoes appear ready for both performance basketball use and casual wear.
