Regardless of how closely you follow it, fashion is all around. And that’s most obvious during this time of year, as labels big and small put their garbs on display in cities like New York. “Fashion,” however, no longer only refers to ultra-expensive, hard-to-digest-by-the-common-person footwear and apparel. High profile names the likes of Virgil Abloh, Yoon Ahn and Hiroshi Fujiwara have brought their luxurious tastes to dozens of athletic sneakers over the past decade, enjoying acclaim among both savvy and casual consumers.

Countless brands have merged sportswear and high-fashion in the last 10 years, but few have struck the perfect balance at such a large scale like NIKE, Inc. The Nike Dunk and Nike Air Force 1 – which were designed for basketball in the 1980s – have found new lives in wardrobes everywhere, while newer silhouettes have helped bold fashion enthusiasts make statements on their local “runways.”

As is the game with luxury goods, limited quantities have made it difficult for everyone who wants to participate to do so, but eBay has come to the rescue. With the platform’s Authenticity Guarantee program, you can buy some of Off-White, AMBUSH and fragment design’s freshest styles with peace of mind that your sneakers are 100% legit. No seller fees on listings above $100 also makes eBay the perfect business partner if you’re trying to save up for that one fashion item you’ll probably only wear once. In any case, continue ahead for nine of the best recent sneaker collaborations, all available right now on eBay.

With the release of his “The Ten” collection in 2017, Virgil Abloh and his Off-White label became instrumental in the marriage between high-fashion and sportswear. Since then, the Illinois-native has flexed his creative muscles through more Air Jordan collaborations, but he’s brought his signature zip-ties and Helvetica text to several Nike classics. The Nike Air Force 1 “Lemonade” and Nike Air Zoom Tempo NEXT% are perfect options for any bold fashion enthusiast, while the Nike Dunk Low “Dear Summer” will fit right in with any subtle, but well-thought-out ‘fit. All three choices will instantly elevate any wardrobe, and are available right now at the links above.

Spearheaded by Yoon Ahn, AMBUSH’s collaborations with the Swoosh have reimagined classics like the Nike Dunk High through a fashionable lens of the “underground.” At a glance, the Tokyo-based brand’s takes have simply added “Flash Lime,” “Deep Royal” and “Black” color schemes to Peter Moore’s 36-year-old design, but closer inspection reveals a number of proportional updates inspired by Japan’s motorcycle, car and truck culture. You can shop all three Nike Dunks by AMBUSH via eBay right now, but remember that the shoes use women’s sizing!

Thanks to his recent collaboration with Travis Scott on the Air Jordan 1 High, Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design label has become one of the most sought-out in sneakers. The Japanese designer’s history with the Swoosh, however, dates back to 2010, when he released a Nike Dunk High collection inspired by various cities around the world. A decade later, the purple and black “Beijing” pair returned at the height of the Nike Dunk craze. Besides carrying out his own visions for classic designs for the Swoosh and Jordan Brand, Fujiwara has assisted sacai with its Nike LDWaffle, outfitting the vintage runner-inspired silhouette with muted color schemes. Time and time again, fragment design has showcased a keen understanding for product and if all three recent pairs are indicative of anything, it’s that the brand isn’t slowing down any time soon.
