This guide breaks down what to look for in popular shoe categories, how to read QC photos for soles and stitching, and which shape flaws are common in budget vs premium tiers.

  • Inspect toe box perforation pattern
  • Confirm insole print clarity

QC Observation Points

For sneakers, the most common 2026 issues are: slightly thick toe boxes on budget Dunks, medial text placement on Yeezys, and hourglass shape weakness on Jordan 1 mids. When reviewing spreadsheet thumbnails, zoom into the heel area — shape retention during shipping is a major quality variable.
