For $600 you'd think they would be PERFECT. I think the Chinese and I have different ideas of perfect though. My first pair I didn't ask for QC photos, so of course it had a few glue spots on it. It also had black specs which I initially thought were BEHIND the clear soles. After getting my second pair, I realized the black specs are actually molded side the rubber. Like junk got in the rubber when making them and cured. It also has a slightly discolored part on the bottom EL like it started to de-laminate. (tried to photograph but its hard to get to show up in photo, but you can clearly see it with your eye) On the left shoe the Nike swoosh isn't 100% lined up right you can see the indentation where it is suppose to go. Also, the shoes have little dimples around them, I am sure these are from there molds. My main gripe is the glue, too heavy on the glue so around the sole it still soaked into the fabric in spots. The metal plate that comes with the shoe was damaged and not aligned and the main box was damaged.
When compared to the RD these of course are a bargain for $600. I know the price is what it is, and we are lucky to have these at all. With the quality I see and get myself, I just wish the price was around $400-450 with this quality. Don't get me wrong, as a whole they are good quality as far as overall look...materials ect. Just small crap like dirty spots, mold imperfections, glue not being neat. I still love these shoes...but c'mon these aren't your average replicas step up the quality control. I've bought $80 rep yeezys and they look PERFECT. I understand these mags have to be assembled differently, but still. Okay...rant over lol
