Do these look deadstock to you guys? The ones listed on eBay listed as deadstock do not have any creases. Thanks.

The Orcas crease very easily, so if you plan on wearing them this was going to happen either way, but if the seller listed them as dead stock than I can understand your frustration.

In other words, I think it's entirely possible for them to be ds and have some creases.

If you look at the front crease, that's clearly a crease from wear. Whether it be just tried on and a few steps taken, doesn't matter. Someones foot has been in them and someone has walked in them.
You don't get a crease in that position out of no where.
Xbiker47, yeah you most def should grab a pair. Thanks for the reply as well.Originally Posted by xbiker47
reminds me I need to grab a pair of orcas

Now that I look more closely, you're probably right. The truth is, one wear (even a couple steps) of a brand new pair would do the same thing, so in theory it shouldn't really matter if they were worn once. HOWEVER, I would feel the same way about the principle of the matter; there is something about getting "virgin" shoes that is ruined even if someone else has walked in them, especially if that person lied about it.

i wouldn't mind the crease if i got them at a good price. anything around 130, I'm good.
Kobeoverbron, the seller and I worked it out, and that is why I kept them! Like I said before though it was all about the principle of the matter, what I received was not what was listed, however don't get me wrong they are a very nice pair.

c4, you are a very fortunate person, however I agree with you on the last part, I wouldn't lend my to bro either, at least not the Orcas! Lol!
