The drop is the latest in eBay's "From the
Collection" series, which brings exclusive items from renowned
designers, artists, athletes and entertainers to eBay's communities
of enthusiasts
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Sept. 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, eBay announces "From
the Collection: Jeff Staple" – an
exclusive drop of sneakers, streetwear, trading cards and other
collectibles straight from the archives of one of the creative
industry's most influential figures.
As the founder of pioneering menswear brand STAPLE with the
now-famous "Pigeon" logo – a reference to the streets of
New York City – Jeff has
influenced the streetwear world through bespoke designs for more
than 25 years. He's one of the few designers in history to
collaborate with nearly every major sneaker brand, and his Nike SB
"Pigeon," released as a limited run of 300 pairs in 2005, is widely
credited with sparking modern-day sneaker culture. Now, eBay is
making a selection of items from this legendary designer's personal
collection available to enthusiasts and collectors for the very
first time.
"For nearly three decades, eBay has been the place to shop the
streetwear and sneakers that you truly can't find anywhere else,"
said Jeff Staple. "Streetwear
culture wouldn't be what it is today without the community that the
marketplace has fostered, and it's been really fun to comb through
my personal archives to put together a collection of items that
enthusiasts would be excited about."
Up for auction are notable sneakers, watches, trading cards,
collectibles and more – including an unworn pair of Bamboo Box
Edition Pigeon Panda Dunks, a Tag Heuer x Staple x BWD Carrera
timepiece, the Serial #01/51 of Staple's reimagined Topps Derek
Jeter AP baseball card, and a 1000% Mediacom Be@rBrick developed
with iconic Japanese streetwear brand atmos. There's also a Mighty
Jaxx x Staple "Pigeon in Flight" art toy, which culls together
different texture-inspired patterns to reference the materials used
in some of the world's most well-known sneakers.
All items in "From the Collection: Jeff
Staple" will be offered at a starting bid of $0.99, with 100% of proceeds benefiting causes
with personal significance to Staple: Art
Start which empowers creative voices for historically
marginalized youths, and Welcome to Chinatown, a grassroots
initiative supporting Chinatown businesses and communities.
To shop the collection, shoppers can head to
www.eBay.com/JeffStaple beginning today, September 28, through October 8, 2023.
