    we do not sell, accept, or otherwise deal with fakes or factory variants. buy with confidence as all shoes offered for sale are thoroughly inspected by our knowledgeable staff for condition and authenticity.


    all shoes are being sold on 80/20 consignment, meaning individual sellers bring shoes to us and receive 80% of the sale price via bank check (or, for international consignees only, wire transfer) within 2 business days of sale. we handle everything else, so no more hassles with setting up auctions, taking photographs, chasing late or deadbeat buyers, dealing with fraudulent payments, or boxing and shipping shoes.

    click here for more information about the consignment process.


    given that all shoes are being sold on consignment, all sales are final. no refunds, no exchanges. if you are concerned about sizing for a particular style of shoe, please feel free to email us before your purchase.


    because all shoes are being sold on consignment, we cannot accept trades.


    individual sellers work with our staff to set the sale prices for their own sneakers. prices will vary depending on rarity, condition, size availability, and on how quickly the seller wishes to sell.


    certain items are only available for purchase in-store and are only listed on our website as a courtesy.

    because of the difficulty in accurately representing certain conditions -- generally because of age -- on the website or even via email, for these items we require in-person inspection before purchase. examples include (but are not limited to) yellowing, bleeding, cracking, creasing, cloudy or soft air bags, dirt, fading, rips, scuffs, and stains.

    all items available for purchase online are in mint or excellent condition, with absolutely minimal or no yellowing.


    older shoes (for example, 1995 or older) may not be suitable for wear and may deteriorate quickly with actual usage (for example, the upper and midsole may separate). we will carefully note the condition of all of our inventory but cannot assume any responsibility in the case of older, vintage shoes.


    all inventory available for purchase online is listed on our website.
