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.
