Condition Guide
Sneaker Condition Grades Explained: DS-10 to DS-7
A clear condition system helps buyers compare pairs without relying on vague terms such as “almost new” or “good condition.”
DS-10 — Deadstock
Unworn condition with complete packaging where applicable. Any storage marks or packaging issues should still be disclosed.
DS-9 — Like New
Usually one or two careful wears with no major visible flaw. Minor signs on the outsole may be present and should appear in the listing photos.
DS-8 — Light Wear
Visible but light use, such as mild creasing or outsole wear, while the overall pair remains clean and structurally strong.
DS-7 — Visible Wear
Clear wear that remains acceptable for sale. Flaws must be shown honestly. DripSpace does not accept pairs below its minimum condition standard.
Grade plus evidence
A grade is only useful when supported by exact-pair photos and inspection notes. Buyers should review both before removing the verification tag.
