Just bought a pair of 15s from an NT'er... HONESTLY, do you think the have been worn ONE TIME?

I don't know why anyone would purchase this God-awful looking shoe in the first place. I always thought these looked like slippers, really ugly slippers.

LOL that sucks man not only do they look bad but then you got them in this condition thats not a good look bro..smh
 
I dont even deal with it anymore, too much aggravation buying shoes that aren't deadstock. Im not buying worn shoes because too many times I go psycho buckwild after dealing with this whole skewed rating system. Even if there grails, If I cant afford there resell price i move on.

Drove 45 min to meet up with a dude from ebay who said he was selling Hare 7s Deadstock. Jawns were worn then tried to sell me why being worn didnt matter. Its the same clowns who dont know what DS is suppose to mean are the ones rating %** vvvvvnds. The term sneaker community is out the door lately, lot of cats looking out for themselves and there extra $5 profit.
 
These could have worn once, for a few hours of very intense ball, not a shootaround. My and 1 tai chis had a lot of stress lines after one or two wears, but I'm 200 pounds.

Lol, I never tried these on, but they look like the heel would slip all the time
 
i am kind of in the same boat as the OP. i bought some shoes off of here on NT and the seller said that they were worn 1-2 times and were near DS. the shoes took forever to get here and when they got here the box was just wrapped in paper and taped with electrical tape so the box was torn to pieces (not really an issue cuz to me a box is a box) when i opened the shoe i checked it and indeed the shoe was very well kept, no noticeable creasing and shoe was in overall good condition WITH ONE EXCEPTION....the midsole looks like the seller grabbed a hot needle and punctured the midsole because it has a couple of holes in the midsole. it seems to me that something like that has to be mentioned regardless of the overall condition of the shoe i mean its very noticeable! when i asked if the shoes midsole had any cracks, the seller said it had no cracks whatsoever HE SHOULDVE MENTIONED THE PUNCTURES!!! it doesnt bother me much because i got the shoe at half of the MSRP and besides what i mentioned, the shoe is a straight 8 condition wise. BUT I FEEL LIKE THE SELLER SHOULDVE MENTIONED THIS IN THE POST OR WHEN I ASKED OF CRACKS

Then you shouldn't have bought the shoes.
 
I hate when this happens when a seller says there DS and "so fresh" then i get the pair and there visibly worn and used ... some people don't even know what the word Deadstock means

You COULD blast his name so nobody else would fall into that trap, just to help out the forum. Or you can "take the good with the bad" and try to restore the shoe the best as you can to make them look better. If he was a stand up guy he would refund your money and allow you to return the shoe, atleast thats what I would do...... Better luck next time. I also would check out your local craigslist, atleast you can look at the shoes before you purchase.

Post of the damn year. Its refreshing to see that there are still some guys left out there that GROW UP into Men.
Everyone else here is just beating a dead horse with their "shoes are ugly" comments.

Thinking and talking about hurting innocent kids shows me how stupid and how much of a scum that person is. Just mentioning it how back the days you would "murk" kids shows no sign of growing up. SMH.
 
this is the trouble with NT, eBay, and such sites...its just so easy to lie and get away with it. you just gotta learn to ask for detailed pics always because the ones most sellers give generally dont show the whole pic

This. If I can't get detailed pics on worn kicks, I won't even cop.

maybe he was shootin around on gravel or some *@#. When i read the title i thought they were gonna be really beat up, not too bad. But you cant say those pass for DS. 
 
It looks like he wore them more than once. Not too many times but definitely more than once. Ive had 2 pairs of these and they crease a lot. And if he did wear them once. He did a lot of walking/ moving in them things
 
smh i havent gotten into the re buying of worn sneakers that im not at least holding in my hand yet

Yeah... He def wore them to ball in.

 I only "shoot around" in my beaters because I know it always leads to harder play/showing off. 


Honestly though, from your description I thought the shoes would be in much worse condition.  How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking ?
