I used to work in the plastic industry for 11 years, was an operator. The operator is suppose to clean out the mold. The imperfections ya see on the shells of most foams are from the operating not cleaning out the mold before/during/between run of the line. Nike never been about their master or individual specifications. Or quality otherwise, they're all about pushing it out into a nike box

Used to be much better when they were produced in Taiwan. Things definitely slipped when production shifted to China for foams.

I got a feeling the eggplants might zoom off shelves in the Denver metro area cause of the rockies doing pretty good but we will see when that day comes

Ive been working in the plastic industry for the last 19yrs... And i have to disagree with you, any debris will come out the mold on with the first set of bottles or shoe shells... Those dimples come from the molds themselves, air pockets or tiny water bubbles. Because the molds are cold in a blowmolding process, because the material is hot. Once low pressure air hits the plastic it expands into the mold cavity.. It was a video around yrs ago showing the process, its the same thing i do 4 days a week.....

Lol. Brah if it came from the mold tool itself, wouldnt every pair have that defect that brah showed im pic above pic!? My pair doesnt have the defect he showed which means in turned there debris im the mold. Believe what you want tho. From experience and knowledge working for one of the biggest thermoformers in the country to injection molding. Do I need to post my resume? Otherwise back to the thread subject.

Honestly it's obvious that there is more than 1 mold use per size. I've had the same shoe same size in multiples and have seen inconsistencies in more than just pitting. The height of the grooves and the depth has been different on the same size.
