The Meaning of Deadstock

[tree4twenty]

Yes, deadstock is discontinued products, but in the sneaker world, it means not worn. Doesn't really make any sense, does it?
Kinda like OG in the sneaker world means original......

that's what it SHOULD mean, but that isnt the case in the sneakerhead world

Agreed ^^^

I agree the term changed over the years.Now it's OG and deadstock now means fresh out the box. So even if I keep the wackest pair never worn. I got deadstock kix. Times do change.

terminology has the tendency of havin its definition change over time, especially slang

My point was not to be defient, but to try to adapt to changing times in the SG.

What is this "SG" you so passionately speak of?

I'm just saying, it used to be an ode to the game to get something that was dead in stock and not just "I never wore these". Believeme I dont got a problem with it, Im' just recognizin' the change. 100.
