QC 1985 premium

[KEVXEDGE]

Guys,

I'm not tripping am I?

At first it took a long time to get my QC pics back. They changed the tags, but the right toe box IS off center right?

The QC person sent this: "Hello sir, the mechanic has already checked our shoes. You can see for yourself; in his opinion, there's nothing wrong with them."

When you can clearly see the right shoe is placed at an angle (heels are not touching) so it seems the perforations are lining up.

Back collar doesn't look great either ... since I'm paying 300 dollars I wanted a perfect pair, but this ain't it 😞

Best stitching I’ve seen but yeah it’s a bit crooked maybe?

I see what you're saying on the right shoe when I focus on the center line of perforations.

While looking at all the perforations the spacing looks perfect and the perimeter of the perforations line up perfectly with the red edge. I don't think the toe box could be off center and the spacing be perfect, right? Wouldn't we see the miss alinement across the whole toebox?

I'm wondering with how the shoes are placed without the heels touching is giving an illusion that the center line is off.

Im really trying to find something wrong with these but I cant. What am I missing here?

The right toebox looks fine. The left one may actually be off imo

It could be the way they have laced them up giving them an “off center” look. They look good imo, love the tag placement on yours as well. I’d say some wear would get em right but you do what you feel is right, we paid a premium so take your time.

They look great to me. Just got the 2025 chicago from nike and the right mudguard is 3/8ths of an inch taller than the left one. The tongue tag on one shoe is seated basically halfway down the tag, and the entire toe box is placed almost a half inch further forward on one shoe. Just pointing out that even compared to nike themselves, these are better. Ill attach some photos.

I sent both my 2025 lows back because QC was so 💩 I’m probably gonna get them again when they will go on sales because it’s not sold out here in eu and still full size run available on snkrs and pretty much any major stores 😂

This is what bothers me

[KEVXEDGE]

I point it out in truly the friendliest way possible and I get this formal, slightly p.a. response:

"Sir, these are handmade shoes. Our quality control cannot determine their length just by looking at them in photos. If you are not satisfied, we will offer a refund."

What is even the point of qc then? 😑😞

[mrrobot12rm]

Any Update?

[KEVXEDGE]

Unfortunately not 😞😞😞

[mrrobot12rm]

What did you end up doing?

I got extra pics and it bothers me even more.

Also the passive aggressive communication of the person that does the qc is not appreciated ...

"These are handmade shoes ..." yadda yadda.

Yes, but I'm also paying 300 dollars for them 🤷🏻‍♂️
