DEADSTOCK-CONDITION PRESERVATION: MUSEUM-GRADE TWO-STAGE CONSERVATION PROTOCOL

The ultimate longevity of these collectible New Balance® 753 is ensured by a scientifically rigorous, two-step conservation process designed to eliminate the primary risk of vintage/deadstock sneakers: Polyurethane (PU) Hydrolysis and Rubber Oxidation, while maintaining the necessary material flexibility for potential future wear.

I. STAGE 1: INITIAL DEHUMIDIFICATION (The Pre-Drying Rescue Phase)

These New Balance® 753 undergo a critical week-long pre-drying phase where they are exposed to a dedicated 50g of 150°C-activated Silica Gel per each sneaker: the essential step for actively extracting the excess moisture absorbed by the materials (PU/EVA/ACTEVA/ACTEVA LIGHT/ACTEVA ULTRA-LIGHT/ENCAP/C-CAP/ABZORB/ABZORB SBS/ABZORB DTS/N-ERGY/REVLITE) over the decades, stabilizing them before RH-maintenance stage.

II. STAGE 2: OPTIMAL HUMIDITY MAINTENANCE METHOD (Maintenance Mode)

Following the pre-drying phase, the aggressive initial desiccant is removed to prevent over-drying and PU brittleness. The sneakers are then stored in the recycled box (non-airtight) to allow the materials to achieve a stable RH level (40% – 60%) necessary for material flexibility and potential future wear.

— PROTECTION LEVEL (BALANCE): This method prioritizes a balance between chemical preservation and physical flexibility, relying on the stable, controlled RH of the storage environment, to maintain a stable RH (40% – 60%) necessary for future wearing and long-term stability.

— OBSERVASION-SAFE: Sneakers are stored in the recycled cardboard box, ensuring protection from light and dust. Strict non-contact viewing protocols (via photos or seller's handling only) are applied to preserve the DEADSTOCK PRISTINE-CONDITION.

RESULT: The meticulous two-stage conservation process reduces the risk of accelerated polymer decay to an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM, keeping these sneakers in current PRISTINE-CONDITION for decades to come!

1998s New Balance® 753 Walking Shoes Techs And Features:

— Abzorb® is a blend of DuPont™ Engage® Isoprene rubber and proprietary foam materials utilized in the midsoles of New Balance shoes. Favored for its cushioning and compression set properties, Abzorb® is used internally in both the heel and forefoot.
Designed to absorb shock and displace energy, Abzorb® cushioning keeps athletes comfortable and protected from the rigors of impact.

— Reflectors — A pair of upper front light reflectors, along with a large N-logo light reflectors and extra-large twin reflectors on the heel counters, provide exceptional safety during evening and night walks.

— Walking Strike Path™ is an outsole feature that helps stabilize and guides the foot through the walking gait cycle.

— Hypalon® is a polyethylene elastomer (polychlorosulfate), a proprietary material from DuPont®.
Hypalon® has exceptional abrasion resistance, durability and long service life. It is characterized by its elasticity, resistance to UV radiation, and retains its properties at low temperatures.

— Stability Web® is a medial post that's designed to provide support and stability. It's made of a rigid lightweight material that's designed to resist pronation, helping to keep your foot in alignment, thereby preventing twisting between the heel and toe parts, supports the arch of the foot, controls lateral displacements as you run.

— T-S-2® (Transitional Support System) is a midsole cushioning technology that's designed to provide a soft, responsive ride. It's made of a blend of materials that are designed to absorb shock and return energy, helping you to feel more comfortable and energized as you run.
T-S-2® technology is made up of two different densities of foam that are molded together. The first density of foam is a soft, flexible foam that's designed to provide cushioning and comfort. The second density of foam is a firmer, more supportive foam that's designed to provide stability and control.
T-S-2® technology is strategically placed on the medial side of the foot, and it covers 35% of the width of a sneaker, which provides ideal support for the heel and arch, which can help to reduce pronation and improve stability.
