Why it’s safe: how authentication works

Every item traded is inspected one by one by an experienced authentication team.

accuracy

Only genuine items will be shipped to you

Using a database of genuine and counterfeit items built from vast transaction data — plus dedicated equipment unique within Japan — SNKRDUNK achieves authentication at 99.9993% high accuracy.

  • Each category is inspected by a dedicated authenticator
  • X-ray scanning checks the internal structure (exclusive in Japan)
  • Only items that meet the standard are shipped out by FROM JAPAN

The authentication accuracy above is calculated from transaction data between December 2024 and November 2025.

How to read the price list — why one item has several prices

SNKRDUNK is a marketplace where many sellers list the same item. When you select an item you’ll see multiple prices, and the way they’re shown differs slightly depending on whether it’s “new” or “used”. Once you understand what to look for in each, you can choose with more confidence.

For new itemsThe same item is listed by multiple sellers. The key is the “seller info” next to each price.

Buying tipBeyond just the lowest price, we recommend also checking whether the seller is “Verified” and their transaction record as a basis for your decision. If a seller has a Gold or Platinum rank badge, they’re even more trustworthy.

Used items are one of a kind, so the seller’s own photos are shown. Check the photos for the location of any scuffs or dirt, and read them together with the condition label below the price. Here’s what each label means.

A+

Brand new / unused (B-grade)
Never worn. Only the slight variations from the production process, or extremely minor scuffs or dirt.
A

Near new
Worn briefly outdoors. Scuffs and dirt are barely visible.
B

No noticeable scuffs or dirt
Shows use but no noticeable scuffs or dirt (roughly 2–9 wears).
C

Slight scuffs or dirt
Visible signs of use, with scuffs and dirt overall (roughly 10–19 wears).
D

Scuffs or dirt present
Larger damage from wear and age (roughly 20+ wears).
E

Poor overall condition
Very obvious scuffs, dirt, or yellowing, or damage that affects wear.

Buying tipConditions are ranked A+ (best) → E (worst). Please check both the photos and the label before choosing. Note that “brand new / unused” items are listed separately from used items. You can review the criteria for each grade in the used sneaker quality guidelines.
