100% Authentic. Guaranteed.

At Rundown, authenticity isn't a promise — it's our standard. Every item listed on our marketplace goes through a rigorous verification process before it ever reaches your hands. When you shop with us, you shop with confidence.

Our Authentication Process

Every item sold on Rundown is physically inspected by our team of trained authenticators before shipment. Here's how it works:

1. Seller Submission

Sellers ship items directly to our authentication center. Items are never shipped directly from seller to buyer — every order passes through our hands first.

2. Expert Inspection

Our authenticators examine each item against a comprehensive checklist tailored to the specific brand and model. This includes:

• Stitching, materials, and construction quality
• Labels, tags, and packaging details
• Colorways, fonts, and logo placement
• Box, insoles, and all included accessories
• Serial numbers and date codes where applicable

3. Verification & Tagging

Items that pass inspection receive a Rundown Verified tag — your assurance that the item has been authenticated. Items that fail are returned to the seller immediately.

4. Secure Shipping to You

Once verified, your item is carefully packaged and shipped directly to you. The Rundown Verified tag remains attached until you're ready to wear it.

The Rundown Guarantee

If any item you receive is not 100% authentic, we will provide a full refund — no questions asked.

We stand behind every transaction on our platform. If you ever have concerns about an item you've received, contact our team within 3 days of delivery and we'll make it right.

Why It Matters

The sneaker and apparel resale market is filled with counterfeits. We built Rundown because buyers deserve a marketplace they can trust — especially when spending hundreds of dollars on a single purchase. Our authentication process exists to protect you, every single time.
