the vault

Sealed Pokémon and grail sneakers, kept in one place and released one drop at a time. We buy, we sell, we trade — and we tell you exactly what a piece is before you commit to it.

About us

Three ways in.

Pure North Vault is a Toronto collector shop for sneakers and sealed trading cards. Small on purpose: everything is sourced, inspected and photographed by us, on the same backdrop you see on every listing.

Buy

Pick from what's in the vault today, or tell us the grail you're hunting and we'll go find it. Every listing shows the real item — not a stock photo — with size, condition and what's included.

Sell

Send photos and what you're after. You get a straight offer within a day, cash or e-transfer on pickup, and no fees taken off the top. One pair or a whole collection.

Trade

Sitting on a pair you've stopped wearing? Trade it toward sealed product, or the other way around. We value both sides in front of you and you decide if it's fair.

Asked for a pair he didn't have. He found it in four days and sent me photos of the actual box before I paid a cent.

Bought a sealed ETB and it landed in Vancouver in two days, double boxed, corners perfect. Packing was better than the store I usually order from.

Traded two pairs I never wore toward a Prismatic box. He valued everything in front of me and didn't push. Easiest trade I've done.

Put a deposit on a pre-order, set got delayed, he messaged me before I had to ask. Refund was there the same hour when I switched to something else.

Emailed at midnight about sizing on a Kobe pair. Had a real answer by morning, with photos of the actual heel. Bought them that week.
