From the Nike Air Max to the Adidas Yeezy Boost, there are myriad sneakers out there waiting to be added to your collection. From limited colourways to restricted runs, all are worthy of your investment. But choosing exactly where to invest your money can be a tricky one.

You could opt for the most recognisable names, but then there’s a high chance other collectors will be doing the same. Or, you could go up against the legitimate 'heads and dive in with the rarest (and coolest) sneakers out there.

Whatever your level of sneaker-spotting expertise, eBay can help. You already know you can get great deals on rare and pre-worn clothing online, but did you know eBay has become a hub of pre-worn (and, holy grail, never worn) sneakers?

Best of all, eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee means every time a pair of sneakers is listed, eBay carries out a verification process to ensure the legitimacy of said crepes. So, what are you waiting for? Here are the sneakers currently on our wish list.

There has been a huge resurgence in Dunks in the last year - and rightly so; this is a staple which goes with everything. Every time this particular model is restocked it sells out near instantly. But, by being smart in your eBay research, you can unearth a pair being resold at a reasonable price.

This is indeed the OG of collectable shoes. You may own a few pairs already, but do you own one in neon? Thought not. These initially sold out in December 2020, with Covid-19 delaying re-ups, making this one of the most coveted shoes around.

Want a pair of the first 350 Yeezy Version 1s ever made? Of course you do. eBay is exactly the place to unearth such gems. As the listing goes “No time wasters or silly offers please, appreciate the rareness of these!”

Dutch designer Piet Parra is having a bit of a moment at the minute, least of all due to his enviable USA and Japanese Olympic national skateboard team kits. A genius streetwear designer in his own right, this Nike collab is something you need to jump on sooner rather than later.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High

If you’ve coveted the Travis Scott Jordan 1 but the thought of auctioning off an organ to pay for it put you off, this is the shoe for you. Released in a beautiful mocha, this shoe is an absolute future classic (think of it like the Tesla of the shoe world). Invest now to avoid disappointment.

Nike Air Max 97/1 Sean Wotherspoon

This extremely rare sneaker was released as a collaboration with Sean from Round Two Vintage in the USA a few years ago. A Mecca for re-found ‘80s and ‘90s streetwear with shopfronts in LA, Chicago and New York, Round Two Vintage is a vital hub in the culture. This collab might just be its finest moment.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way; at three grand (!) this isn’t a shoe you’ll throw on to nip to the shops. It is, however, a solid gold investment and a must have for Nike devotees (and, really, collectors of any loyalty). Needless to say, it’s very rare, and even Nike’s own website doesn’t stock it. eBay it is, then.

Nike Waffle x Sacai

Nike Waffle x Sacai

A wearable but unconventional take on a classic shoe, this design was originally released in just two colour ways. For our money, the blue detailing variant is the pick of the bunch. And, if you aren’t yet familiar with Japanese brand Sacai, this is the perfect introduction.

Dior Air Jordan 1 OG

Think of this high fashion sneaker as a boujee take on the basketball classic (with a price tag to match). Not only is it as functional, it’s guaranteed to turn heads too. Think Dior don’t do footwear? Think again.

This 2021 collab is worth it for the name alone. And with a price tag of £120 it’s at the less formidable end of the investment scale. A reissue of an older, much loved shoe, this is a simple way to dip your toe in the water.

Nike Jordans X Levis Retro IV

Denim sneakers that cost the best part of a grand? Say no more. This Jordans / Levi collab resulted in a white, black and denim colour ways. Until we can get our hands on all three, the white is our pick of the bunch.
