If this listing is for a shoe "New with Box", that means "The Original Box" that the shoes originally came in, not a replacement box, not a box with the top torn off, not an "OG" (Original) box from that same era or some other era without a label or relabeled, its the Original Box that the shoes came in, otherwise the listing would be for "New Other", If the shoes are clearly worn, they are NOT DS (Dead Stock), at very minimum it should be noted they are VNDS (Very Near Dead Stock), in which case, the shoes are NOT New. Shoes in this listing will be clearly labeled in the listing as “NEW” in the title as well as in the description. Used shoes have a description of what is “not new” about the shoe, from toe box wear and mid sole creasing, to uppers creasing and sole discoloration.
