R20k is fair average DSWT with box + receipt. LV fakes are #1 faked sneaker so authenticity proof is key
- *Like new 9/10*: *R12 000 - R16 000* - check for sole wear, creasing, scuffs on toebox. White shows wear fast
- *Used 7/10*: *R7 000 - R11 000* - sole wear + creases kill value. LV soles wear down fast on concrete

*What kills price*: Heel drag, deep toebox creases, scuffs on leather/canvas, stained denim/canvas, missing box/dustbags. Sole wear is #1 issue - LV soles are soft. Creasing on white leather = instant deduction.

*Legit checks*: Stitching is 10+ stitches per inch, clean, no glue. "LV" patch is stitched clean with no fraying. Sole has LV flowers + proper weight. Inner label "Louis Vuitton Made in Italy/Spain" with QR code. Box label matches shoe size/color. Fakes have wrong sole shape + thin materials + bad stitching.

*Colorway resale rank*:
1. *White Leather* = #1 seller, versatile, classic
2. *Black Monogram* = #2, stealth, hides wear
3. *Blue Gradient* = #3, limited drop, hype
4. *Blue Denim* = #4, seasonal, fashion crowd
5. *Brown Canvas* = #5, core LV but more seasonal

*Unisex?* 100% yes. Men wear US 7-12, women US 5-8. Chunky fit works for both.

*vs your other pieces*:
BAPE STA R5.2k vs LV Trainer R24.8k retail = LV is 4.7x more. Supreme x Nike Jacket R12.5k vs LV Trainer R24.8k = LV sneaker 2x more. LV Sweater R26k vs LV Trainer R24.8k = sweater R1.2k more. LV Trainers hold value 70-75% vs BAPE 60% vs Supreme 50% because LV scarcity + quality.

*vs your LV Sweater R26k*: Sneaker is cheaper but more wearable daily. Sweater holds value better % because knitwear ages better than sneakers.

*Care tip*: LV Trainers = wipe with damp cloth + LV cleaner. Use crease protectors for white. Store in box with shoe trees. Never wear daily on concrete or soles die fast. Get them resoled at LV for R2k-R3k.

Got specific size + colorway? Size 8-10.5 men’s moves fastest. Box + receipt + dustbags adds R1k-R1.5k buyer trust.
