Copped these Trainer III ‘USA’ on super steal the other day and gotta say they did a pretty good job with quality control on these…I bet the majority of these would grade high.
Swipe to see what I see.
There’s really only really two types of minor flaws on this pair, one of which is super common (and entirely expected) whenever I see a plastic cage component...Surprisingly, the glue stains aren’t really bad around the cage. It’s the tooling.
Second flaw...I call it ‘negligent paint’. I used to be a painter in a past life (my best friend growing up had his own painting business so we used to knock out homes all summer long) so I tend to pay very close attention to this. You can see the subtle shaky strokes on the heel of the left shoe.
Nothing major, here. Most likely a 9-9.5 based on the flaws pictured (plus a couple I didn’t take pics of), but overall a really well put together shoe.
