brand new
Just out of packaging
Brand new means completely new, never used or owned before.
The phrase emphasizes newness more strongly than new alone: a brand new car, brand new shoes still in the box.
Something brand new has no wear, no history, no previous owner.
The intensifier brand likely comes from an old sense meaning "fresh from the fire," as with newly forged metal.
