Do these unused shoes have a shelf life? Am I going to run into any problems using a pair of shoes that are two or three models old but have never been worn?

Have they been in the box in your closet or buried in your trunk through all of the temperature extremes?
Just try them out and see how they feel. They might not give you the same life time as a brand new pair, but you should get some distance out of them.

I bought a pair of Vomero 7s I found at an outlet for a good price. I have no idea how they were stored (probably not well). It didn't occur to me at the time that age might affect the shoe.
I do plan on running in them but I was just curious if shoes had a shelf life.
Probably to a certain extent, but you should get some life out of them.
