Supreme and Nike have one of the strongest relationships in sneaker culture, their time together marked by revolutionary releases from 2002 onward. Recently, one of their most notable works — the star-clad croc-skin covered SB Dunk High from 2003 — informed a new generation of Dunk Lows, effectively shining the past through a modern lens in four colorways. Each of the four highly-coveted drops can be picked up right now on eBay.

Grounded in simplicity, the Air Jordan 3 by A Ma Maniere was celebrated for its seamless intersection of a classic luxury aesthetic with the sporty casual nature of every day essentials. Yellowed, vintage-inspired midsoles and co-branded embroidery further decorations this heralded collaboration, while the silken quilted lining is reminiscent of expensive outerwear. Perhaps the true highlight of this release was that it was created exclusively for women, with the shop itself seeding the footwear to specific women influencers in the space. Still coveted by men and women alike, the Maniere x Air Jordan 3 is undoubtedly one of 2021’s best; pairs are available now on eBay.

Founded in 2006, Bodega is one of the most significant hubs of culture, fashion, sneakers, and everything in between. And while no stranger to collaboration — often teaming up with names like Dr. Martens, Vans, and the like — their recent project with New Balance was incredibly personal. The 990v3 the two created is proof of the boutique’s mark, a symbol of an incredible 15 years, and an aesthetic mix of storytelling and design that can be had right now on eBay.
