Pre-Owned Sneaker Condition Guide: Like New to Fair

By SecondPair · 05 Aug 2026 · 5 min read

On a resale site, condition is as important as price — so we grade every pair on a clear four-point scale and photograph every flaw. Here's exactly what each grade means.

The four grades

Like New

Worn once or twice, if at all. Indistinguishable from new up close — no creasing, no wear.

Excellent

Lightly worn with only faint signs of use. Nothing you'd notice on foot.

Good

Honestly worn. Visible but minor wear, structurally sound, with plenty of life left.

Fair

Well loved. Clear wear throughout, priced accordingly — a true bargain for someone who'll wear them.

How we score it

Beyond the grade, every listing shows three scores out of 10 — upper, sole and interior — plus written condition notes and honest photos of any flaw. What you see is exactly what you get.

Which grade should you buy?

Want them to look box-fresh? Go Like New or Excellent. Happy with character and a lower price? Good and Fair are where the value is. Either way, you're buying with full information.

Browse by condition: Like New · Excellent · Good · Fair.

Frequently asked

Each pair's upper, sole and interior are scored out of 10 so you can see exactly where the wear is — a 9/10 upper with a 7/10 sole tells you the tops are cleaner than the bottoms.

Yes — every pair is photographed exactly as it is, creases and scuffs included. No surprises when the box arrives.
