You just scored the sneaker you were eyeing for a long time. Upon unboxing it, you noticed that the stitching and size was different, compared to your previous purchase of a similar silhouette. Like everyone else, you’d be disappointed and looking for answers if you noticed a defect in your sneaker or apparel purchases.
MASS PRODUCTION & MANUFACTURING DEFECTS
While popular brands such as adidas, Nike, and Fear of God are known for their high quality products, they are mass produced and prone to defects. If you’re a sneakerhead or streetwear fiend and frequently shop with them both online and in-store, you might have received products that look ‘slightly off’ from time to time.
These major sneaker and streetwear brands outsource production and have global manufacturing warehouses. Despite having standardized processes in terms of item production, defects can slip up from warehouse to warehouse. Aside from that, inconsistency varies with each new release/restock and the region it is set to release in.
One of these notable products would be a Kardashian-favourite – the adidas Yeezy Slide in the colourway, Pure. Since its launch in September 2021, this product has been restocked several times. It has been resold on many platforms and released in several other regions, including adidas Australia.
