The Master Batch Index
Every major rep factory, scored against retail across every Nike model they produce. This is the reference page — bookmark it. When someone on Reddit says "just get OWF," this is where you check if that advice actually applies to your model.
Who makes what — and how well
OWF (Original White Factory) specializes in Air Max. Their AM1 and AM90 molds are the closest to retail available. They also produce decent Dunks but they're not their strength. For Air Max specifically, OWF is the default recommendation across the Air Max hub.
M Batch is the Dunk Low king. Highest shape accuracy, best leather quality, best color consistency across colorways. They also make passable AF1s and Blazers, but Dunks are where they invest. The Dunk page has the full M Batch breakdown.
H12 is the all-rounder with a surprising strength: Vomero 5. Their Vomero mold is the best available. They also produce acceptable Air Max and Jordan models. For Vomero buyers, H12 is the starting point.
GET Batch nails Air Force 1 — that specific chunky midsole profile that other factories consistently get wrong. They also do decent Blazers and some Jordan models. Check the AF1 page.
PK (Perfect Kicks) covers the broadest range but rarely leads any category. Their best work is on Shox (the column springs require specialized tooling) and some Jordan models. PK is the fallback when the specialist factory doesn't make your model. The sizing guide has PK-specific fit notes since they run slightly different.

The Bottom Line
Match the factory to the model. OWF for Air Max. M Batch for Dunks. GET for AF1. H12 for Vomero and Cortez. PK for Shox. Don't buy a factory's secondary product when another factory's primary product is available at the same price.

About This Guide
This index exists because the rep community treats batch names like religions — people are loyal to "their" factory regardless of what they're buying. That's backwards. A great Dunk factory might make terrible Air Max. This page maps the actual data so you can choose based on evidence, not allegiance.
