How does Cop® define deadstock sneakers?
Cop® defines "Deadstock" as an authentic, new, unworn pair of sneakers. They are complete with original box including the box lid and the box label indicating the shoe size, as would be acceptable for sale at a retail location. “Deadstock” sneakers also may or may not include additional accessories (such as laces) that were included in the original packaging at purchase. At this time we do not accept any Factory Seconds.
As with sneakers sold at retail, some pairs will pass "Deadstock" inspection despite being unlaced, tried on for fit, and/or having slight manufacturer flaws and imperfections that are uncontrollable. In addition, all "Deadstock" sneakers must come in the original box, which may have encountered minimal damage from shipping, discoloration from storage and/or any normal wear and tear due to aging.
When it comes to older pairs,”Deadstock” sneakers can include signs of aging, including yellowing and should be worn at your own risk. "Deadstock" sneakers that are over 5 years old, when worn, may experience structural weakness and a lack of durability.
We do allow the original box to be slightly damaged, such as minor dents and rips. We do not allow boxes with major rips or tears.
