eBay Inside Drop Shares Designs That Never Went Public

— September 14, 2021 — Fashion
eBay Inside Drop gives fans the chance to get in on hard-to-find, rare and deadstock sneakers backed by an Authenticity Guarantee. The curated collection of sneakers even features Friends & Family sneakers, which will be given away to eBay's community of enthusiasts.

Styles like the Air Jordan 1 Fragment High 'Friends & Family' and the Adidas x Pharrell NMD Human Race Trail 'Friends & Family' are collectibles that have been created just friends of the designer or brand and never made available to the public. Now, these incredibly rare sneakers are being shared in a way like never before.

To drive home the point that sneaker collecting is also about being part of a community, eBay partnered with Jacques Slade and other sneaker experts to share tips and tricks for creating listings on the platform.
