Condition Guide

DEADSTOCK (DS)

Never worn with zero signs of wear on soles or uppers. Factory-fresh condition. Minor factory imperfections such as light creasing or glue marks may be present but do not affect the unworn status.

    PASS AS DEADSTOCK (PADS)

    Tried on briefly or worn indoors only with virtually no visible wear. Maintains near-perfect appearance and could easily be mistaken for brand new. 

    VERY NEAR DEADSTOCK (VNDS)

    Extremely light wear with minimal visible signs of use. May show slight sole contact or minor outsole grain loss. Maintains exceptional overall condition.

    Lightly Used 

    Minor signs of wear throughout but maintains excellent condition. May exhibit slight outsole dragging, minor dirt accumulation, light markings, or minimal creasing. Still highly presentable.

    Fairly / Moderately Used 

    Visible wear consistent with regular use but remains well-maintained and fully functional. May show general wear including minor scuffs, slight discoloration or fading, and outsole wear.

    Well-loved

    Significant / heavy wear throughout with potential damage requiring restoration. Ideal for daily wear ("beaters") or restoration projects.

    Important Note When Buying Vintage SB Dunks

    Many vintage SB Dunks may show midsole separation due to age, even in deadstock condition. This is normal and does not affect wearability unless stated. Please expect some sort of separation when buying vintage SBs!
