What does "to un-deadstock" mean in sneaker slang?
The phrase "to un-deadstock" means to wear or use a pair of sneakers that were previously kept brand new and untouched ("deadstock"). The structure uses "un-" to reverse "deadstock," which refers to unworn, brand-new shoes. It is commonly used in sneaker culture when someone finally breaks in a collectible or stored pair, reducing its resale or collector value.
