That’s hilarious because I was just thinking about that this past weekend. I have seen some pee yellow bottoms on icy soles of shoes that have been “worn once”. It’s irritating because I do have some shoes that have been worn 1-3X and they look almost if not new. No one wants to hear it though because of the liars out there on eBay and especially Grailed. I have bought some DS looking shoes that were marked as worn once. The pics tell way more than someone saying how many times they’ve been worn“Worn once” is one of the most common lies used by people
What if instead of a foot, someone stuck their hand in the shoe just for a second to pull the shoe tree out and take insole out to legit check it. Is it still DS? It has had a body part in itAre y’all really arguing about this?
Lmao
If you put your feet in a pair of shoes, I don’t care if you don’t even touch the floor, they been worn by you even if for a few seconds.
That’s unds
I can’t count foot stores when people try on the shoes as being ds either,
Some of the kicks they have are dusty as ****
the original definition of deadstock was. the stock is dead as in you can no longer find the particular shoe in stock or on shelves in store.
the more general term of deadstock is wearing the shoe whether for one second or a full day.
i think its bc we left the whole ebay description format. even taking a shoe out of the box was UNDSing.I honestly don't know why the definition changed from the original. I remember BNIB being the key definition for unworn.
I agree with this. Even Stadium Goods and Flight Club let you try on shoes before you buy them.Unfortunately, there is no universal definition of deadstock. In my opinion, if it hasn't hit concrete, it's deadstock. And I'm perfectly fine receiving a shoe thats been tried on from StockX. I guess I can understand some people becoming upset after paying hundreds of dollars to see a spec of dust or two stuck in their soles, but is it really that big of a deal? Especially if you plan to wear them yourself and dirty them 3x over the first 10 feet on concrete? In the end, I get both sides of the argument though. I like the metaphor that you don't want a brand new car with 500 miles on it. But realistically, this is a brand new car with 5 miles on it and most cars come tested from the factory.
I understand both sides too. But I think if you know you’re selling it or already sold, why try it on? I remember when you received your ow converse you stated that it’s already sold but you’re trying it on just to see how it looks. Why would you try it on if it’s already sold? You’re not trying it on to see if it fits you. It’s not a big deal if someone have an intention of keeping/buying it and trying it on to make sure it fits right. And yes the buyer will get it dirty anyways but if I’m the buyer I would want it to be me that dirty it or put any imprint on it.Unfortunately, there is no universal definition of deadstock.

I’ve always thought once it’s on feet it’s UnDS. SX and GOAT said the seller is allowed to try on shoes before selling, but I better not see any pebbles, dirt or creases on them or I’ll have them refund me. But for me, if I know I’m selling it...I wouldn’t even put them on. It’s only fair to the buyer esp at these reselling prices. Just like how I’m not about to buy a new car with 1000 miles on them or even 500 miles.
With this much hype lately, a lot of these resellers don’t care about the shoes. If they get it they just want to flex and flip it. That’s why most of these tried on pairs aren’t tried on for the right reasons. SX go thru so much and im not sure how the working conditions are there, I’m sure there are some authenticators just doing a quick look and pass it not putting any consideration into it as long as it’s legit.Just happened to me last. Boutght the AE stock x for $630 and the buyer took forever to ship out. I knew something was wrong. I finally get the shoes in and you can tell dude had them on, walked around in them. Had dirt on the solesand the back of the shoes. Right shoe Nike suede on the back was stained from denim jeans. I’m guessing to flex for IG. I sent them right back to stock x. Don’t know how they passed inspection smdh
Try it on to see how it fits = flex on igI understand both sides too. But I think if you know you’re selling it or already sold, why try it on? I remember when you received your ow converse you stated that it’s already sold but you’re trying it on just to see how it looks. Why would you try it on if it’s already sold?

And yes the buyer will get it dirty anyways but if I’m the buyer I would want it to be me that dirty it or put any imprint on it.
It’s obvious I bought a decent amount from SX and I’m sure prob half have been tried on, but I couldn’t tell so whatever...as long as I don’t know and it actually look DS. You might argue that the buyer doesn’t know, but you’re on here taking pics with it on saying it’s already sold, that’s where I think is wrong. But you’re right too...there are no universal definition of DS. Just that to me I’ve always thought it meant BNIB never tried on, aside from it meaning no more stock.
