eBay has teamed up with famous sneaker experts across the United Kingdom to explore the significance of its latest Authenticity Guarantee project. Morgan Weekes and Sam Morgan were brought in by the platform for this episode to have a first-hand insight at the worlds of historical collecting and new-age reselling.
Weekes connects the dots between modern-day sneakerheads and OG sneakerheads, having previously served as co-director of one of the largest sneaker independent conventions and now working as a brand consultant and creative for all things sneaker-related.
As a seasoned collector with a penchant for vintage treasures — like the 1989 Nike Air Flow, which he describes as “a really good example of strong Nike design” — he places a premium on authenticity in his purchases. “Thankfully the Authenticity Guarantee is covering pre-owned shoes. To me, that’s a big deal because I’m buying a lot of old collector pairs. To have that safety that they’re real is awesome.”
eBay’s rigorous inspection procedures also keep his mind at ease, “They check the shoe when it comes back to you as well, that is something that’s going to make people feel a lot safer about selling shoes, not just buying.”
Sam Morgan plugs some of the top celebrities with rare fits, which all started with a pair of YEEZY’s. From Paul Pogba to Dave, he plugs some of the biggest celebrities with rare fits, which all started with a pair of YEEZY’s. “The first release I really popped off on was the YEEZY BOOST 350 v2 “Breds”. I got 13 or 14 pairs at retail and I flipped all of them at £400.” “One thing I always try to do is be one or two steps ahead of other people,” he says, referring to eBay as his go-to platform for sourcing exclusive things to stay ahead of the game. When you need something, eBay is always there to help.” “If you’re spending £150 on a pair of trainers, the least you can do is spend £7.50 extra,” he continues, referring to the company’s competitive 5% seller fees, which finance the Authenticity Guarantee procedure.
