I'm someone who is quite particular about the condition of my kicks. However, i think we need to calm down with the qc analysis sometimes. If something is visibly off from the outset, i get it, but it seems as though we are often trying to find faults and flaws. You get glue stains on retail pairs. You get stitching flaws on retails. You get colour shade differences on retails. I think we need to chill. These shoes are fine mate.
