User submission 1/2. Thanks to the sender of these AM1 @pietparra pics. “Glue stains were pretty minimal and mostly consistent but only two small issues prevented these from being damn near perfect.”

@underarmour Curry 4 Low 'NBA Jam'. Say what you will about @stephencurry30 and @uabasketball , but these shoes are put together with WAY more care and attention to detail than a lot of these hyped sh

Check out this pair of @adidas #quesence I recently graded. Swipe to see the flaw. Almost perfect. Yes, that little tiny smudge of glue makes this pair *not* pristine. It is largely unnoticeable - thi

Common issues when grading exposed #boost: missing boost pellets...or...disjointed boosts.

So I finally got around to seeing those Melo XIIIs in person and...they lived up to the hype. If you don't know the story behind these...here's the abridged version: @jumpman23 made a ton of these and planned on this big release for them called 'the class of 2002'. Once the production facility finished, quality control department took a look and said something to the effect of 'we can't release these there are too many defects'. And having seen some actual pairs - they did a good job pulling the

Yesterday, I had two separate individuals ask me about how *certain* sneakers are packaged after they are graded in order to maximize for longetivity...here's a few pics of Jordan PEs that were graded a couple years back. The first is what we believe to be a pair made for @bighurt during his shoe contract year. The second pair was made (and autographed) by @mike_bibby_10 . And the third pair is a DS pair made for @michaelfinley4 (and included the sheath). .
Our casing is no joke - we went throug

The difference between a graded Jordan Fleer rookie at an 8/10 and 10/10 (graded by PSA) is roughly $32k 😂 The more I research this stuff, the more I think it's exactly where sneakers are headed. Grad

And the comic book version of a 6/10. Starting with a 4/10, price goes up pretty significantly per grade point - up 50% from grade 4 to grade 6. I realize this isn't the best example when it comes to

Recently came across and graded this pair of #sample #nikeairmax180 ... Nothing special about this pair other than the fact it's a sample. Insoles look virtually brand new, upper and soles looked pre

Yo are these real? Legit check? Seems like this might be an early version of the Don C Jordan Legacy 312 at that pricepoint 😂@buffaloexchange what are you doing with these prices? These are so so bad.

Pretty gross quality control on these XIs. Some flaws come from wear, others come directly from the factory. I'm still looking for that perfect pair - DM me pics or tag me if you think you've got a pe

My next question was going to be "what would YOU pay for a Shoemetrics graded perfect 10/10 pair of concords, but @mustang_chris_50_hyka threw it out there already. He's looking for a perfect pair and

Can you spot the any flaws on this recently released pair of Air Max 1 Crepes? Swipe to see what I see... *SPOILER* Look at the height of the midsole on the medial. These types of inconsistencies drive me crazy!

Can anyone out there ID these Vince Carter BB4s? They don't have a #nikeid tag but that's not to say they can't be IDs. Size 12.5. It's a GR colorway (I had the same pair) so that's why I don't think

Same pair, same size, came in the same box. You’d think part size would correspond with shoe size...like wouldn’t the air unit and window be the exact same size depending on the size of the shoe? I du

I know some of y’all are saying ‘who cares’ about the glue stains...and I somewhat agree. I’m a shoe wearer. I buy shoes for cheap and I rock them with little regard as to how they end up. Once I’m ti
