Deadstock, nds, VNDS, used, VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVNDS

Here is something that has pissed me off for years. People trying to pass poor condition shoes as "still good". They put those little letters in for the condition, knowing damn well they aren't even close to whatever letters they put in.

If the shoes you are trying to sell have holes in them, they ARE NOT even close to deadstock!!!

If the shoes you are trying to sell have been worn, they ARE NOT deadstock!!!

If the shoes you are trying to sell have the sole ripped off, they ARE NOT close to deadstock!!!

Idiots are always trying to put some combo of v n d and s to describe their crap.

There should only be three ways to describe a shoe-

Deadstock(which to me has always been a stupid term)- never worn

Used- worn, but still in good condition

Heavily used- worn past good condition

But this will never happen. People are stuck in the "DS I've only worn them 8 times" rut. Don't even know what they are talking about.

These terms are so relative, some people think "nds" just means the shoe is still wearable. It's got parts falling off, the sole has a couple of holes, the durabuck has been worn down to where it's grey, but you can still wear them. I want $150 for them. Idiot!

The worst part is, it's so easy to learn these term properly. But the typical, lazy ass collector doesn't care about learning anything. They just want people to look at their collection of "DS" shoes. Most of them have only been worn 5-15 times.

Anybody want to buy some "DS" OG Carmines? They've only been worn about 50 times.
