Highlighting the Best Nike Dunks Available on Ebay and Its Expansive Sneaker Marketplace
Tracing the Nike Dunk’s historic legacy through eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee service.
Over the last year, eBay, the original online marketplace, has doubled down on its foothold in the world of sneakers by eliminating sneaker fees and launching its official Authenticity Guarantee service. Now, the platform has arguably its most expansive sneaker marketplace yet and look no further than the site’s classic Nike Dunk offerings as proof of this impressive collection of highly sought-after grails. With its new Authenticity Guarantee service, which claims it sells a pair of sneakers every 1.5 seconds, eBay is now providing meticulous multi-point inspections for all Yeezy, Jordan, Nike, adidas, New Balance, Asics, Vans, Reebok, Converse, and Puma brand sneakers, listed in the men’s or women’s athletic shoe categories, in new condition sold for $150 USD or more or pre-owned condition sold for $300 or more, meaning most Nike Dunk transactions will receive an Authenticity Guarantee.
The Nike Dunk has become such a focal point of not only sneaker culture but also men’s fashion at-large, with links to skateboarding, streetwear collaborations and runway appearances. The second most-popular shoe to debut in 1985, after the Jordan 1, the Dunk was never intended to be a flagship model but rather a college-centric basketball shoe. Designed for NCAA athletes and its respective fans, the Dunk was an attempt to capitalize on the collegiate leagues’ growing appeal. But, despite playing second fiddle to one of the most successful Nike sneakers of all time, the shoe took on a life all its own, quickly diverging from its intended audience and finding new life in a variety of subcultures. From there, the shoe pretty much faded out of the public’s eye, never quite hitting fever pitch but always making waves, especially in the hearts of sneaker aficionados. As of 2020 though, that’s all changed with the Dunk coming back stronger than ever, with Off-White collabs, Travis Scott cosigns and successful retros, it’s never been a hotter shoe on eBay. So without further ado, here are the best Nike Dunks currently available for purchase on the marketplace’s website through its Authenticity Guarantee service.
