Sneakers

Sneakers grade on deadstock-vs-worn integrity. Box, label, and outsole condition all gate the price; treat the box as a graded asset, not packaging.

Grade	Label	What it means	Margin adj	Dispute rate
DS	DS (Deadstock)	Brand-new, never worn. Box and all laces/tags intact and unworn.	+12%	2%
USED	Used	Worn indoors or briefly outdoors. Creasing on the toe box is expected; outsole shows light wear.	-8%	10%
