Please would yall stop trying to preserve something that's unpreservable

 your shoes will be DS eventually no matter what, they ain't white on white AF1s

 but if you're trying to keep them from "Tarnishing

" or being genuinely messed up well then try saying i'm trying to preserve the "newness" of my shoes thank you that is all

you missed my point and comparisson, my point is w/w AF1s will never be DS because they stay on shelfs where as no matter whether you keep KCs in a box in the closet or wear them til the gold falls off and the sole browns both pair will still be DS, you can't preserve "DS" sorry it's just becaome a pet peeve of mine with the misuse of that word

really wish there was a suede protectant you could apply.... would have had fun with the Lols when you posted the pic.

For the kings crown, did you guys feel that the sizing was the same as the regular xi's?

I have a chance at retail for .5 down from my normal size, which fit nice and snug. Was wondering if it's worth it or if they would be way too uncomfortable?

The lebron x ext's were much less padded than the regular x so i was wondering if that's the same thing here.

Thanks

so DS doesnt mean new looking?

it just means a shoe that hasnt been released or restocked?

so PADS should be PANL or PABN (New Looking) (Brand New)

ds means stock is dead or no longer available in stores hence dead stock you can have still in the box DS, tried on DS, worn DS but once the shoe is sold out in stores DS regardless of the shape of the shoe my favorite is yellow DS JXI columbia's

, i'm gonna leave it alone and let it be though

i guess im learning something new.. since 1999 Deadstock always meant fresh and never worn.. never heard someone have worn OG shoes and called them DS.. hell my Hare 7's even though i worn them people said they looked DS..

 

[snifflewaffen]

kicks crew's preorders are reliable right?

 

[pelimpe]

I doubt the kc price go up.... People will soon move on to the 12....
Most are just Waiting for the wtl drop n it's gna be a wrap...
The kc are nice n they were.widely available people that missed out like me ain't trying to go above 350 if that...
Now in the long run it might be a different story

per EBAY def for listings:

"DEADSTOCK" means that this particular sneaker is no longer available in stores, stores NO LONGER have them INSTOCK. Which is why the STOCK is DEAD. When stores sell the sneakers in question they have to sell them for a specific retail price, the store can not sell them for more than the suggested retail price unless it is a SNEAKER BUTIQUE which usually sells exclusive or DEADSTOCK sneakers. So when you hear DEADSTOCK used in the proper way, basically means that the sneaker is no longer in stores and that is why the price is higher, or don't miss out on them because they are no longer available in stores, they are "DEADSTOCK"

"DEADSTOCK" now a days has taken on a new meaning to the new generation sneaker-heads. They now use "DEADSTOCK" (I've noticed) in a lot of auction listings to mean: New, unworn in it's original box, in it's original state that it comes when purchased from the store & has never touched the floor.

kicks crew's preorders are reliable right?

I wouldn't say "reliable."  They fluctuate, I've had a bit of experience with them in the past and half the time they came through, the other half I had to cancel the order because they kept delaying the release/ship date, and by that time the shoes had already released in the US and resell was cheaper than them by then.  All depends.  They are good about giving you your money right back, but it's a process to get a refund.
