Jordan 1 QC Deep Dive

Jordan 1 QC requires attention to these specific details:

  1. 1

    Toe box shape — should be slightly rounded, not too boxy or too pointed.

  2. 2

    Ankle collar — the leather should fold naturally without creasing awkwardly.

  3. 3

    Swoosh placement — check that the Swoosh is correctly positioned and sized.

  4. 4

    Heel tab — the "AIR" text should be crisp and correctly positioned.

  5. 5

    Sole color — check that the sole color matches the colorway reference exactly.

  6. 6

    Lace holes — should be evenly spaced and correctly sized.

  7. 7

    Insole — check the "Air Jordan" branding for font accuracy.
