Quality Guidelines for New Streetwear

Quality Guidelines for New Streetwear

SNKRDUNK considers minor stains and scratches that may occur during the manufacturing process(which are often seen even in products purchased from authorized retail stores)to be within the range of individual differences of a new, genuine item and meet our guideline standards.
Please see below for details on individual standards.
*The color of the images on the product page may appear slightly different from the actual product depending on factors such as the photographed conditions and so on.


Standard streetwear (T-shirts, hoodies, pants, outerwear, etc.)
【Wrinkles】
Minor wrinkles that may occur when the item is sold in stores or stored in a folded state are within the product guidelines.
Excessive and heavy wrinkles that are different from folding wrinkles will not meet the product guidelines.

【Dirt and Stains】
Small stains are considered to meet the product guidelines because they may occur during the manufacturing process or when the item is handled by an authorized retailer. Stains are often seen even when purchased from an authorized retailer.
Stains obtained from usage or heavy stains/dirt will not meet the product guidelines.

【Fraying/Tears】
Small fraying or rough stitching may occur during the manufacturing process or when the item is handled (displayed, sold, packaged, etc.) at authorized retailers (as they are often seen even when purchased from authorized retailers) and will be considered to meet the product guidelines.
Extensive major fraying or tearing will not meet the product guidelines.

【Stitching Misalignment】
Minor stitching discrepancies that may occur during the manufacturing process of each brand are considered to meet the product guidelines.
Extensive stitching misalignment that detracts from the design or interferes with the wearability of the clothing will not meet the product guidelines.

【Uneven color or discoloration】
Color unevenness that may occur during the manufacturing process of each brand, such as when dyeing the items, will meet the product guidelines.
Yellowing or discoloration caused by sun exposure or storage conditions will not meet the product guidelines.

【Adherence of fabric pilling】
Minor fabric pilling on the cuffs, body, and neck area is considered to meet the product guidelines because they may occur during item handling (display, sale, packaging, etc.) at authorized retailers or when trying on the item.
In addition, items that are found to have a large number of fabric pilling attached to them from the initial state (when manufactured or sold at authorized retailers) are also within the product guidelines.
We consider items that show signs of wear or have extensive fabric pilling not meeting the product guidelines.

【Misalignment or misplacement of prints/embroidery】
Minor print or embroidery misalignment/misplacement will meet the product guidelines, as it can be found even when purchased from an authorized retailer.
If the misalignment or misplacement is so significant that it detracts from the overall design, the item will not meet the product guidelines.

【Cracked print】
Small cracks on part of the print will meet the product guidelines because they may occur during item handling (display, sale, packaging, etc.) at an authorized retailer.
Cracks that are so extensive that they detract from the overall design (including those that occur during storage) will not meet the product guidelines.

【Size tag misalignment】
Misalignment of size tags will meet the product guidelines, as many size tag misalignments can be found even when purchased from authorized retailers.

【Zipper slider peeling/scraping】
Minor peeling or scraping that may occur during the manufacturing or shipping process will meet the product guidelines.
Peeling or scraping that shows signs of wear, or when it is overly extensive will not meet the product guidelines.

【Velcro】
Minor fluffing on the loop side (soft side) is within the product guidelines.
If there are large amounts of fibers or pilling on the hook side (rough side), it will not meet the product guidelines.

【Loose collar】
Any stretches at the collar caused by storage on hangers for an extended period of time, etc., will not meet the product guidelines.

【Tears/Rips】
Any tears or rips on the product that are not the result of item handling (display, sale, packaging, etc.) at an authorized retailer will not meet the product guidelines.

【Holes on clothes】
All holes that are not by design, such as holes caused by insect bites during the manufacturing process or storage, will not meet the product guidelines.


Caps and Hats
【Stains, dirt, fabric pilling】
Minor stains and pilling may occur during the manufacturing process, when handling items at authorized retailers (display, sales, packaging, etc.), and when trying on items (as they are often seen even when purchased from authorized retailers), and thus meet the product guidelines.
In addition, items that are found to have dirt, stains, or fabric pilling from the initial state (when manufactured or sold at authorized retailers) will also meet the product guidelines.
Any condition that shows signs of wear beyond the degree of trial wear, and extensive stain, wrinkling, or fabric pilling will not meet the product guidelines.

【Deformity and misalignment of embroidery】
Minor embroidery deformity or misalignment will meet the product guidelines, as it can be found even on items purchased from authorized retailers.

【Damage or holes on the item】
All holes that are not by design, such as holes caused by insect bites during the manufacturing process or storage, will not meet the product guidelines.

【Distortion / lose shape】
The cardboard for preventing loss of shape is not a required accessory, as it may not be included even when the item is purchased from an authorized retailer.
However, conditions that can be prevented with the cardboard such as distortions, dents, or extensive loss of shape will not meet the product guidelines.

【Manufacturer's sticker on visor】
The sticker attached to the visor (bill of the hat) is also part of the item. If we find evidence of sticker reattachment or bent stickers, it will not meet the product guidelines.



Other Street Items
【Stains】
Items that show signs of wear or are extensively stained will not meet the product guidelines.
Please note that floor sample items are authenticated using the same product guidelines as other items. If there is damage or stains on the item, please list the item under the used item section.

【Torn bag of undergarment, etc.】
Hanes and other undergarments are sold wrapped in bags and sealed.
Items that show signs of having been opened or that have partial tears in the bag will not meet the product guidelines from a hygienic perspective.

【Defective item】
Defective items will not meet the product guidelines.
During the manufacturing process, items with defects are originally removed at the time of inspection by the manufacturer.
As the manufacturer considers the item to be a B grade (defective) item, we also determine that the item does not meet the product guidelines.
