eBay is opening Wear ‘Em Out Store in Los Angeles featuring exclusive sneaker styles for up to 70% off market price, with lower prices for shoppers who literally wear their purchases out the door.
Garry Thaniel, GM of Sneakers at eBay, said, "The Wear 'Em Out Store celebrates a love of sneakers, while acknowledging that sneakerheads are often balancing what they wear with what they keep in the box. eBay is the place to find every style and every price, and now we're offering an incentive to lace up the most coveted sneakers of the summer."
According to a recent survey of 1,000+ sneakerheads, commissioned by eBay, the majority of respondents said they wear less than half of their collections. The Wear 'Em Out Store is designed to encourage shoppers to wear their purchases.
eBay partnered with musician, businessman and fashion icon Offset, to help curate the store’s offerings. Said the rapper, "For sneaker collectors like me who lay awake at night trying to decide if you're going to wear your new kicks, eBay's Wear 'Em Out Store makes light of something that haunts the entire sneaker community and gives people a new way to access the shoes they want for summer."
At Sneaker Con Anaheim this weekend, eBay will give attendees an exclusive preview of the Wear 'Em Out Store. The store will feature a selection of the season's latest styles, including new releases that would normally only be available at deadstock prices.
