CARBEN TEC LLC Revolutionizes New Balance Shoe Condition Assessment with Cutting-Edge Technology

LITCHFIELD PARK, AZ – October 26, 2023 – CARBEN TEC LLC, a tech innovator based in Litchfield Park, Arizona, is changing the game for New Balance shoe collectors, resellers, and enthusiasts. We're tackling a big problem: figuring out exactly what condition a used New Balance shoe is in. Forget vague descriptions like “good” or “worn.” We’re giving you data. For years, assessing the condition of collectible sneakers has been, frankly, pretty subjective. A “9/10” to one person might be a “7/10” to another. This makes buying, selling, and even collecting really tricky. It's tough to know what you're really getting, and it can lead to disputes and frustration. That’s where CARBEN TEC comes in. We’re a small but mighty team of engineers and sneakerheads dedicated to bringing scientific precision to the sneaker world. We believe every shoe has a story, and we want to unlock that story with accurate, reliable data. We’re located at 19445 W INDIAN SCHOOL RD STE 102 # 232, LITCHFIELD PARK, AZ, 85340, and you can reach us at 201-568-7482. But let’s get to the good stuff – what we do. Introducing the CARBEN TEC Condition Scoring System for New Balance We've developed a unique system for objectively assessing the condition of New Balance shoes. It's not just about looking at the shoe; it’s about measuring it. We focus on the key wear points that really matter to collectors: Midsole Wear: This is huge. We're not just saying "some wear." We’re measuring the compression and degradation of the midsole foam. Our technology detects even subtle changes you can't see with the naked eye. This impacts comfort and collectibility, and we give it a precise score. Outsole Traction: How much tread is left? Is it worn evenly? We’re using advanced imaging to map the outsole wear and quantify the remaining traction. Forget just guessing – we give you a percentage of original tread. Upper Condition: We're looking beyond just surface scuffs. We're checking for material breakdown, stitching integrity, creasing, and even color fading. We assess the upper on multiple areas and give detailed scoring. Shape & Structure: Has the shoe lost its original form? Are there areas of significant deformation? We analyze the shoe's overall shape and structure to identify any loss of integrity. Evidence of Wear/Use: We meticulously document any signs of wear, including staining, dirt, or damage. We're not just saying "dirty"; we're specifying where and how dirty. How it Works – More Than Just a Grade Forget simple numerical grades. We go deeper. Our system generates a detailed condition report for each shoe, covering all the areas mentioned above. The report includes: Individual Scores: Each wear point (midsole, outsole, upper, shape) receives its own score on a standardized scale. Detailed Descriptions: We don't just give a score; we explain why the shoe received that score. Think "moderate midsole compression with visible wear on the heel" instead of just "7/10." High-Resolution Photos: We provide clear, detailed photos of the shoe's condition, highlighting any areas of concern. Overall Condition Assessment: Based on the individual scores and detailed descriptions, we provide an overall condition assessment, categorizing the shoe as: New/DS (Deadstock): Never worn, original box included. Excellent: Worn a few times, minimal signs of wear. Very Good: Moderate wear, but still in good condition. Good: Noticeable wear, but still wearable and collectible. Fair: Significant wear, but may still be desirable for certain collectors. Why This Matters for New Balance Enthusiasts This isn’t just about being “techy.” It's about bringing fairness, transparency, and confidence to the New Balance sneaker market. For Buyers: You’ll know exactly what you’re getting before you spend your money. No more surprises, no more disputes. For Sellers: You can accurately describe the condition of your shoes, increasing trust with potential buyers and maximizing your sale price. For Collectors: You can build a more accurate and valuable collection, knowing the true condition of each shoe. For Resellers: Provides a data-driven approach to pricing and inventory management. Focus on New Balance - Why We Started There We chose New Balance as our initial focus because of the brand's incredible heritage, dedicated fanbase, and thriving resale market. New Balance shoes are known for their quality and durability, but even the best shoes show wear over time. We saw a real need for a more objective way to assess the condition of these iconic sneakers. We’re planning to expand to other brands in the future, but we wanted to perfect our system with a brand that’s known for its quality and collectibility. The Future of Sneaker Condition Assessment CARBEN TEC is more than just a service; it’s a movement. We believe that data-driven condition assessment will become the standard in the sneaker market. We're constantly innovating and developing new technologies to improve our system and provide even more accurate and detailed assessments. We're currently working with select sneaker stores and online marketplaces to integrate our condition assessment system. We’re also offering individual condition assessments for sneaker owners who want to know the true value of their collection. Want to learn more?
