possibly
they do a returns policy so that you could run in them a few times and then decide you don't like them, and so they're not box fresh new anymore.
but a bit of a google seems to imply that they might do the same with 'new' returns too

Yeah. Nike have a great returns policy as a consumer. You can go out and run in them a few times and return them if they don't work out for you for a full refund...
problem is, the returned shoes just get shredded
