The eBay Wear 'Em Out Store is the first-ever sneaker store that rewards sneakerheads for wearing their new shoes out of the store. This sneaker store is a destination for some of the most exclusive and coveted sneaker styles for up to 70% off today's market price and there are lower prices available for shoppers who choose to actually wear their purchases out the door.
The eBay Wear 'Em Out Store will be open Memorial Day weekend on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles and it acknowledges that many sneaker lovers feel pressured to keep the purchases they love pristine and in the box. eBay recently commissioned a survey of over 1,000 sneakerheads and found that "the majority of respondents said they wear less than half of their collections."
