UN DS

Have you always wanted to know what exactly Un DS means? No problem, in our exclusive sneaker lexicon we explain almost all the terms and words of the scene. And if you can't find a term, please write us a message and we'll help you right away!"Un DS" is the abbreviation for un-deadstock and means the first rocking or wearing of the sneaker. Of course, wearing them also involves a loss of value, which is why many collectors don't wear their sneakers in public until they are sure they don't want to resell them. 

Pro tip: We've often found that we're a bit overzealous when it comes to new sneakers. The main thing is to get the item straight onto our feet because it's "cool and new". However, it is often the case that the shoe is quickly forgotten. That's why it's important to think carefully about whether you only want to wear the shoe because of the brief hype or whether you really like it.
