Tissue paper in box

[gehrig4225]

I recently copped the What The KD 6 on Nikestore. I plan to wear them for a while and resell on EBay when I grow out of them. I want to remove the white tissue paper from the box when I store them, but I'm not sure if this will decrease the value. I want to throw it out because it gets in the way when putting them back in the box and it also came ripped from the factory. The ripped tissue paper just looks visually unappealing. I have also read that the acids from the paper can stain the shoes after a very long time in the box. Do people look for the paper in the box when buying from a reseller or does it not matter?

Most people don't care. Do what you want with your shoes.

I think if you're reselling it people will want the paper. Store it somewhere (out of the box) for now and when it's time to resell just pop it back in. That's what I do with my kicks so the acid from the paper doesn't damage the shoe.

For a second I thought I was the only thinking it was a strange question.

Keep it somewhere because boxes without tissue paper are usually used with fakes

Wait, the tissue paper stains kicks? I've never had this problem.

what will decrease the value is you wearing them for a while and then reselling them... not the paper.

Thanks for clarifying! I probably won't end up selling them if I can't wear them first.

Sorry about the awkwardness of the question it was my first post and I went into way too much detail. I appreciate the feedback

Will value still go down if I clean them after each time wearing?

You're good. I was just giving you a hard time. Welcome to niketalk.

If you take care of your shoes, when you grow out of them you'll be able to get more value for them.
