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

The ultimate longevity of these collectible New Balance® 663 trainers is ensured by a scientifically rigorous, two-step conservation process designed to eliminate the primary risk of vintage/deadstock sneakers: Polyurethane (PU) Hydrolysis, Mold, Mildew, 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® 663 trainers 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 brittleness. The sneakers are then stored in their original factory 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 their original 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!

New Balance® 663 Athletic 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.

— C-Cap® is a compression-molded EVA that enhances midsole cushioning and flexibility. This means that players/athletes can expect comfortable support that does not inhibit overall responsiveness.

— 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.
