Ordered these SL 72 RS from AJIO during the recent sale for around ₹4.2K. Seller is Reliance Retail, so didn’t really doubt authenticity, but after checking properly I noticed a few things.

There are some loose threads and slightly messy stitching in a couple of areas, plus a small mark on the upper. Nothing huge, but not what you expect from a new pair. Also the box came a bit damaged and wasn’t packed properly.

Other details seem fine though — GST invoice is there, product code and barcode match. But one thing I found odd: the shoebox sticker country of origin says “Made in Indonesia” while AJIO listing mentioned manufactured in India. Also this colorway isn’t on Adidas India site, but I did find it on Adidas Israel.

So just wanted to ask:
Is this normal QC stuff with Adidas or should I be concerned?
Anyone else faced similar issues with AJIO / Reliance Retail?
Better to replace or just go for refund?

Would appreciate any advice.
