Like others have said look pretty much DS to VVVVVNDS to me
Was in a nike store a few weeks ago and the AM90s had that same white stuff on the soles and yellowed midsole.
Also I have had many shoes come directly from nike, eastbay, finishline etc with some creasing already on the toebox or a small scuff here and there or extra glue.

Its not the fact they arent DS, cause im sure OP woudda copped even if it was VNDS, its the principal of it. You are buying whats advertised as "DS" and if it isnt, well you feel juped.

Dude are you serious?
That crease and smudge on the back could easily have been from factory. I worked at footlocker when I was younger and we would get shoes like that ALL THE TIME. I'm sure it's worse now too.
The white stuff is supposed to be there dude. It's part of the damn shoe.
Lock this up...
Yup first nikes that came like that I guess I don't buy enough shoes

Shouldn't you know alittle bit about what you're buying?...
It's pretty common knowledge that the"OG" shoes soles have that stuff on it. Ehhh...
The creasing and small scuff I can understand. The fact that you're complaining about the white stuff is mind blowing.

Those look DS. AM90s are known for ****** quality from the factory.... those 2 small scuffs are nothing and could have easily happened shortly after production while being packaged for transport.
Also...those are the Vintage editions and the soles are supposed to look chalky like that.
IMO the seller really should have disclosed the flaws beforehand but every once in a while something slips past you as a seller. Ive sold many many pairs of shoes here on NT and never had one complaint... but one time I did accidentally ship a pair of shoes in the wrong box... Just saying sometimes people space out and overlook a pretty obvious or not so obvious detail. Have you contacted the seller yet about your concerns ?
On another note:
I think some of yall are really expecting way too much out of some mesh and rubber athletic shoes. One of the primary reasons I haven't been nearly as active in the buy/sell forum is because I see the stuff some of the petty flaws you complain about and I afraid of someone holding me responsible for Nikes poor quality.

Thanks for this ... I don't expect much but again have never bought shoes that has scuffs on it ... Didn't need to contact the seller as it was more curiosity .... I plan to wear the shoes not stock them
