Sneaker Condition Guide (/10)
For greater transparency, each pair is evaluated according to a rating out of 10 which reflects its overall condition.
Pair status:
At NCLS, each pair of used shoes is rated out of 10 to give you a clear idea of its overall condition.
The rating is based on my expertise and the photos will help you clearly understand the condition of the pair.
9.9/10 = worn once or just tried on, condition like new.
9.5/10 ➡️ barely worn, generally 2-3 times, showing no defects, looks brand new visually.
9/10 pairs were also very lightly worn, generally showing no defects or very slight creases at the front, which unfortunately appear on some models from the very first use.
States 9 and above/10 have excellent value for money.
They'll give you the feeling of being brand new while saving you a significant amount of money compared to the new price 🙌🏼
__________________
Rated 8 to 8.75/10 ➡️ the pair has been worn a number of times but remains in very good overall condition.
May have minor defects/creases which are highlighted in the item photos.
Nothing serious, the pair retains a beautiful appearance inside and out despite use.
Unlike the 9+/10 pairs which have only been worn a few times, the 8+/10 pairs are those that have been "actually" worn while maintaining a very good overall condition and are ready to start a new chapter on your feet 🙌🏼
______
Below 8/10, pairs have been worn a lot and/or are worn out.
These are pairs that have been worn a lot and show defects and/or real signs of wear.
You rarely find them at NCLS.
If that's the case, they will be offered at very low prices.
______
It is important to clarify that all the pairs worn are second-hand pairs and not refurbished/reconditioned pairs.
A wipe with a sponge/brush is applied before being put back on sale, but no renovation is carried out (painting, regluing, etc.).
That's why I'm mainly looking for pairs that have been worn very little and are in very good overall condition.
The goal is to satisfy you by offering pairs that are as close to new as possible at unbeatable prices 🙌🏼
Box and accessories: the presence of the original box and accessories (extra laces, etc.) is specified on each product page.
For each item,
Feel free to ask if you would like photos or other information regarding its condition 😃
