How to Read ACBuy Spreadsheet Batch Codes

Batch codes are the most important quality indicator in the ACBuy spreadsheet. Understanding what PK God, LJR, OG, M batch, and other codes mean will transform you from a random buyer into an informed one. This guide decodes every major batch you will encounter in 2026.

What Is a Batch?

A batch is a production run from a specific factory. Think of it as a factory signature. When a seller lists an item as "PK God batch," they are saying this item was produced by the factory known as PK God. Different factories have different strengths, weaknesses, and specializations.

The batch code is not just a label. It tells you: - Which factory produced the item - What quality tier to expect - Which flaws are common for that factory - Whether the price is appropriate for the quality

Batch vs Shoe Model Matching Guide

Use this reference to match the right batch with the right shoe model:

How to Choose the Right Batch

Follow this decision flow:

1. 1.**Identify your shoe model** - The spreadsheet will list available batches
2. 2.**Set your budget** - Premium batches cost more but offer better accuracy
3. 3.**Check the spreadsheet notes** - Community notes often say which batch is currently best
4. 4.**Read recent QC posts** - Search Reddit for the model + batch name
5. 5.**Consider your use case** - Daily beaters do not need premium batches
6. 6.**Verify the seller** - Make sure the seller actually sources from that batch

Common Batch Misconceptions

**Misconception 1: "Premium batch means perfect"** Reality: Even premium batches have minor flaws. No rep is 1:1. Premium means closer to retail, not identical.

**Misconception 2: "Budget batch is not worth buying"** Reality: Budget batches are excellent for daily wear, gym shoes, and items you will beat up. The value is often outstanding.

**Misconception 3: "Batch names are always accurate"** Reality: Some sellers mislabel batches. The spreadsheet community flags these sellers. Always verify with QC photos.

**Misconception 4: "Newer batch is always better"** Reality: Some older batches are still the best for specific models. Do not assume a new batch name means improvement.

How to Verify Batch Claims

When you receive QC photos, verify the batch claim by: - Comparing shape with known batch characteristics - Checking for the batch-specific flaws mentioned in the spreadsheet - Asking the community if the batch label matches the photos - Looking at the insole and interior tags for factory-specific details
