How We Evaluate Sneaker Finds
Our evaluation process covers five key areas: colorway accuracy (does it match retail photos?), material quality (leather, mesh, suede — does it feel right?), sole construction (is the outsole pattern correct? does it flex naturally?), tag and label accuracy (font, placement, stitching), and overall finish (are there any visible defects, glue marks, or inconsistencies?).
We also factor in community feedback — items that have been ordered by hundreds of buyers with consistently positive reviews get extra weight. A single reviewer's opinion can be biased; a hundred reviews tell a more reliable story.
