No longer in production and in mint/brand new condition. You fucked up when you made it a verb though.

No longer in production and in mint/brand new condition. You fucked up when you made it a verb though.
I thought it only meant new
No. The word used to mean new is "new".I thought it only meant new
Maybe you young cats do it different nowadays tho.

I have a "Deadstock" pair of Jordan 3's from 2001. That means they're no longer made/sold and that they're "New" not mint.
I was stating that Deadstock didn't mean "Mint", it meant new.
Maybe you old cats do it different?
Ok. Learn to communicate better. Something else old cats do better than youngins. You quoted an entire sentence and responded. It reads as if you are countering the entire quote and not just the word "mint".I have a "Deadstock" pair of Jordan 3's from 2001.

As for "mint", it can be interchangeable with new, certainly when using the DS designation. Mint originated from the phrase "fresh out the mint" as a description for freshly printed new coins. In sneaker terms "mint" (used to atleast) mean brand new in box and fresh factory condition. Mint can at times be a higher designation than "new" because new can have signs of aging and yellowing while mint doesn't. Again, maybe you use terms more loosely. But it wasn't always like that.
Deadstock embodies out of production shoe that's new/mint.
I will communicate this, Mint and Deadstock are two totally different things. If I buy a pair of shoes off of eBay and the title states "Deadstock", that means they're new. If I open the box and they were worn once but are in "Mint" condition the auction was misleading and a lie.

Learn something new everyday fam! I appreciate the knowledge!
But if they show any sign of being worn once how can they be mint? That would be NDS or "near mint".
What he do?Don't let jets off the hook
You had the right idea though.Learn something new everyday fam! I appreciate the knowledge!

Near DS and mint are basically the same thing. NDS just means worn once maybe twice and no longer in production.
Mint means worn once or twice but basically new.
And Jets posted a pic of the Air Jordan 6 "Flamboyant's".
Wait
Deadstock means that no foot has been inside that shoe

OK. We disagree on mint. Your description is "near mint" to me.
Yes. We agree on that. Mint is where me and the brother disagree.

I can't talk to young cats about sneakers. These nicknames kill me!
Not sure what you dudes are talking about
I wasn't trying to play him. He actually used the correct definition in terms to sneakers.
The term deadstock comes from stock no longer in a stores inventory. That's the actual definition and how it originated.
Sneakerheads and new age cats took it and put it to meaning brand new...not worn....there's debates on that even, in an attempt to sell kicks. I didn't really start hearing that term until there started being money in sneakers. Before it was just used or new.
Onpoint used the actual definition, and not the slang definition or whatever it is. That's why I asked him if he worked in a sneaker store before.

How, when reselling sneakers is something that's occurred within the past ten-fifteen years?
I was sellin niggas my mikes back in 98 famo
Those all patent 6 were some of the first flea market j's to actually be produced and called limited.
How's this an argument? Dead stock means the stocks dead. No longer in stores and the strings are still factory tied because they've never been worn.

That's all I was saying
and those Lakers and Pistons VI's
but I bet some dudes were wearing those Olympics in those pride events across the country last weekend...probably a gay sneakerheads favorite kicks.
but ummmmm, enjoy your kicks JETS...wear what you like
The first sneakers I ever sold on ebay were Jordan XII's and The Original Pennys (air foamposites one royal) around 1999. And that was just ebay. Reselling sneakers predates your timeframe bro.
And terms like deadstock, variant, samples, and such have been around since not long after that. Atleast.
What are you talking about?
2014 - 1999 = ?
And retros were being made in 1992...retros didn't become popular until after 1999
You sell shit on ebay, of course shit was sold on ebay. There was no money in selling kicks until the past five years. Which is why you have more limited releases and people camping.
Nobody was using the fuckin term deadstock for kicks back in 1999.
The term deadstock comes from the way stores referred to their inventory...point blank period. The term deadstock didn't just pop up, because reselling kicks is a new phenomenon. Just like nobody was calling themselves a sneakerhead back in 1999.
Now youre readjusting. Who said anything about there being money in it? And "being money in it" is subjective as hell. You originally said people wernt reselling prior to 10-15 years.What are you talking about?

You were wrong. Period.
Reselling kicks is NOT a new phenomenon. It being big business may be but the resell market has been going on since atleast the mid 90's. We did it to wear the fucking sneaks and stay fresh. Not because there was significant money in it. I know because I was a part of it.
And again, I said I first sold on ebay in 1999. And noted that was "just ebay" to communicate I had actually resold shit offline even before then.
As for the term sneakerhead, that's not my argument, so feel free to take that up with someone else. Everything I stated above is fact. I know from first hand experience.
No you're changing the argument because you didn't know what deadstock meant. You were wrong. Selling kicks for money wasn't the same, because the term reselling didn't even exist...my point. Just like sneakerhead and deadstock didn't exist.
Stop trying to flip arguments to protect your ego. Everyone is already aware you didn't know what deadstock meant, but tried to clown dude anyway. Take your L.

What L?
Deadstock is what I said it was. We just gonna have to disagree on this one bro.
Oh, and now your argument is that the "term" reselling didn't exist?? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Complex, you got it man. No need for a back and forth. Everything I said is fact bro. You have your truth from your experience and I have mine. Its all good.
1)One who resells a previously owned or worn sneaker. 2)One who purchases with the intent to resell.
Well before then. Without boring you with details or coming off on some lame bragging shit... I was into kicks heavy since high school. Got a fresh pair weekly. When I went to college it got worse. Had partners working in and managing shoe stores at the malls. Would purchase to wear and stack and sell. I think the first pair of Jordans I resold were the Bugs Bunnys around 94. The first retros I resold were black V's around 1999 (my partner managed footlocker). Those soldout of stores fast and I had several pair and sold them all including the pair I wore as personals for well over retail. I remember not liking them after they broke in because the toebox wrinkled way too easy. They were not the same nubuck/suede as the OG.So you were doing that in 99
Escape.Don't let jets off the hook
