"From the Collection" is a new series of drops
from eBay – offering coveted items from the biggest names in
fashion, design, sports and entertainment
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Sept. 29,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, eBay announces "From the
Collection," a new series of drops with exclusive items from
renowned designers, artists, athletes and entertainers. The first
installment, "From the Collection: Heron Preston," gives fashion
enthusiasts and sneaker collectors a chance to bid on more than 50
pairs from the designer's legendary personal collection, all
starting at $0.99.
"'From the Collection: Heron Preston' makes so much sense.
Wear your shoes! Collecting is not relevant anymore in today's
world if you aren't planning on using what you're collecting," said
Heron Preston. "I feel that one of the worst things is to buy
something and never use it when so much energy and love goes into
creating it. Collecting with no intention to use is a left-over
concept linked to materialism and unnecessary consumption. Wear
your shoes, otherwise pass them on to extend their life and
purpose."
Up for auction are Heron's first-ever Foamposites,
childhood-favorite Halloween "SF Giants" Dunks, Jordan 6 "Infrared," Nike Air Max 95
collaboration, and New Balance x JJJJound 992 among others. It also
features one of the first-ever pairs of the Yeezy 750s, gifted to
him by Kanye West when he worked on
the team that brought them to life.
"It's important to me to support the next generation of
creatives that care about imaginative and innovative solutions that
reflect my commitment to sustainability and the environment," said
Heron Preston. "100% of the 'From the Collection: Heron
Preston' proceeds will therefore help provide scholarships
and grants to young creatives through the Heron Preston L.E.D.
(Less Environmentally Destructive) initiative powered by the
Fashion Scholarship Fund."
"Heron Preston is a fashion icon, and so many sneakerheads would
give their left foot to shop his closet," said Garry Thaniel, General Manager of Sneakers at
eBay. We are always finding new ways to bring inventory to eBay
that you can't find anywhere else – the new 'From the Collection'
series will regularly offer this type of unprecedented access to
our community through partnerships with legends like Heron."
Pre-loved pairs of the grails within "From the Collection: Heron
Preston" will be sold and delivered in revived condition in
partnership with Reshoevn8er, known for their demonstrated
expertise in sneaker cleaning and restoration. Reshoevn8r will
breathe new life into some of Heron's most coveted grails before
they find their new home, while maintaining every aspect of the
sneakers' original, authentic glory
