I purchased these over ten years ago and the listing was Deadstock. I don’t believe they are truly Deadstock, but I couldn’t really determine any wear or tear. I did see some very minor white paint touch up on the toebox area, but you have to look really closeup. Plus this wasn’t the original box and the size 12 sicker was added to the box. However, the vintage yellowing looks great! Make me a great offer to pass them along.
