Vintage Finds on eBay

Today there are a number of marketplaces for sneakers and related accessories, but if there is one spot that reigns supreme for vintage items, it is eBay.  There are countless vintage items on the internet’s favorite auction site with some forgotten gems from yesteryear.

Have a look below at our five favorite vintage finds on eBay for this week.

Nike Air Solo Flight

Up for bid: Nike Air Solo Flight
Current Price: $99.95 (bid)

Ever wonder where Pigalle got inspiration for a Pro Purple sneaker from top to bottom?  Well, look no further.  Long before Ye was doing triple-colored-up kicks, Nike Basketball was bringing the heat with monochromatic executions of all kinds of different colors.  Gotta love the 90’s.

Nike Air Dynamic Flight Scottie Pippen PE

Up for Bid: Nike Air Dynamic Flight Scottie Pippen PE
Current Price:  $6,400.23 (bid)

Long before Scottie Pippen had his own signature line, he was getting laced on the regular with special PEs before the term was even used.  This player exclusive of the Nike Air Dynamic Flight was made for Scottie for his second NBA title run that he snagged in 1992 sporting his jersey number 33 on the ankle.  The huarache-fit basketball sneaker has somehow never retroed.  Nike, it is time!

Air Jordan 1 Metallic Blue OG

Up for Bid: Air Jordan 1 White/Metallic Blue OG
Current Price: $584.99 (bid)

The Metallic Blue Air Jordan 1s will be returning soon, but they won’t be the same as this pair. If the scuffs and cracks don’t bother you too much, you will see an OG pair of the Metallic Blue Highs which is one of the rarest OG Air Jordan 1s from 1985.  DS pairs fetch anywhere from $5k and upwards depending on the size.  Not a bad restoration project or keepsake for the Jordan collection.

Up for Bid: Nike Cortez (1982 edition made in USA)
Current Price: $233.93 (bid)

Forest Gump would approve of this vintage find.  This 1982 edition of the iconic Nike Cortez stands apart from any retro release with the classic 1980s international box and made in USA quality.

Up for Bid: Converse Dr. J
Current Price: $521.25 (bid)

The Converse Pro Leather is commonly referred to as Dr. J’s signature shoe, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that Dr. Julius Erving had his own signature model sporting his logo and all.  These have never been retroed by Converse and are 100% original vintage goodness.
