The Wear 'Em Out Store will offer exclusive
pricing on collectible kicks to those who wear them out of the
store
LOS
ANGELES, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- eBay, known
for its unmatched inventory of new and pre-owned sneakers, is
setting up shop in Los Angeles
with a store that rewards sneakerheads for actually wearing their
new kicks out of the store. Open Memorial Day weekend on Fairfax
Avenue, the Wear 'Em Out Store will feature some of the most
exclusive and coveted sneaker styles for up to 70% off today's
market price, with lower prices for shoppers who literally wear
their purchases out the door.
"Most people can identify with that feeling of getting a new
pair of shoes that you love so much, you just HAVE to wear them out
of the store," said Garry Thaniel,
GM of Sneakers at eBay. "The Wear 'Em Out Store celebrates a
love of sneakers, while acknowledging that sneakerheads are often
balancing what they wear with what they keep in the box. eBay is
the place to find every style and every price, and now we're
offering an incentive to lace up the most coveted sneakers of the
summer."
According to a recent survey of 1,000+ sneakerheads,
commissioned by eBay, the majority of respondents said they wear
less than half of their collections. The Wear 'Em Out Store
is designed to help sneakerheads live in the moment and encourages
them to show off their favorite styles, on their feet this
summer.
Known for wearing some of the most coveted kicks from his
extensive and exclusive collection, eBay enlisted award-winning
international musician, businessman and fashion icon Offset, to
help curate the Wear 'Em Out Store's offering – using his
years of sneaker collecting to determine what collectible kicks
enthusiasts would most want to un-deadstock.
"eBay is my go-to place to find the kicks you can't find
anywhere else," said rapper Offset. "For sneaker collectors like me
who lay awake at night trying to decide if you're going to wear
your new kicks, eBay's Wear 'Em Out Store makes light of
something that haunts the entire sneaker community and gives people
a new way to access the shoes they want for summer."
At Sneaker Con Anaheim this weekend, eBay will give attendees an
exclusive preview of the Wear 'Em Out Store – including
several of the styles that will be unveiled on Fairfax, like the Jordan 1 Retro High OG Patent Bred or Yeezy
Boost 700 Wave Runner. The store will feature a selection of the
season's most coveted styles, including new releases that would
normally only be available at deadstock prices.
