Each aforementioned brand has its own journey, but the last two years have cemented all three of them as formidable forces within the lifestyle space. Joint-efforts with Jordan Brand, Nike and New Balance have helped them bring their once-niche visions to the masses.
So, let us educate you on nine of the coolest “group projects” currently available via eBay Sneakers so that you can start out the school year with a perfect score.
Owned and operated by Chris Gibbs, Union LA is a name beloved by both newfound and longtime sneakerheads alike. And throughout their long running partnership with the Nike umbrella, the boutique has crafted a wide range of coveted collaborations. Most recently, they’ve brought their touch to iconic classics like the Air Jordan 2, the Cortez, and even the Dunk Low, weaving each a story as rich as the designs themselves are unique. In Sneaker 101, the works of Gibbs and his team are a required learning, and there’s no better way to brush up on your studies than with these very pairs, all of which can be found right now on eBay Sneakers.
In the history of sneaker culture, few names are referenced as heavily as Patta, whose prior work with Nike has since become the stuff of legend. And in recent years, the Amsterdam-based streetwear brand has continued adding to their lesson plan with new, wave-inspired editions of the Air Max 1 as well as collaborative colorways of both the New Balance 991 and Air Jordan 7. While many of the label’s older offerings have become extremely rare, these newer collabs are readily available right now on eBay Sneakers.
Although he’s become a household name over the last two years, Joe Freshgoods has been schooling the world on what it means to be fresh in the West Side of Chicago. The 30-something-year-old creative has proven his talent with several collaborators (including 7-Eleven and New Era), but has struck gold with New Balance. JFG has lent his story-telling prowess to classics like the 992, but has also helped usher in new models like the 90/60. A newly-formed partnership with Vans further demonstrates the American designer’s insatiable hustle.
