Frequently asked questions
How are high top sneakers verified as authentic?
High top sneakers go through an automated check on stitching, materials, logos and serial patterns, followed by a hand review from trained specialists. The process also covers packaging, accessories, and supplier and source history. If an item is later found not authentic, CLB XXIII issues a full refund.
How is the condition of high top sneakers graded?
Condition on high top sneakers varies piece to piece since CLB XXIII sells both new and pre-owned items. Each listing is graded New, Like New, Excellent, Very Good, Good or Fair, with authentication notes included on the product page. That grading system is the same across the full CLB XXIII catalogue.
Is shipping insured on high top sneakers?
Every order of high top sneakers is insured by CLB XXIII while it is in transit. Orders are processed and shipped within 24 hours of purchase, and delivery estimates count from the dispatch date rather than the order date. A signature may be required, and responsibility passes to you once that signature is obtained.
Does CLB XXIII have a physical store for high top sneakers?
CLB XXIII operates two physical locations, in Cincinnati and Beavercreek, Ohio, where high top sneakers can be viewed and tried on in person. Store inventory reflects the same one of one nature as the online catalogue, so a specific piece may or may not be on hand on a given day.
How does CLB XXIII decide whether high top sneakers are archived or rare?
High top sneakers earn an investment grade or archived label at CLB XXIII based on scarcity and the condition assessment completed during authentication, which includes enhanced verification for high value categories. As with the rest of the catalogue, these are typically single unit listings, so the product page is the best source for current status.
How do you authenticate every piece?
Every item is inspected in-house before it is listed. We check box labels, stitching, hardware, material quality and construction against known factory details, and each piece carries our lifetime authenticity guarantee.
Are there any buyer fees?
No. The price you see is the price you pay. We do not add buyer premiums or platform fees at checkout.
Can I place a deposit and pay the balance later?
Yes. We take a non-refundable 10% deposit that applies toward the total price of your order. Speak to a private client adviser to set one up.
