eBay UK is offering shoppers the chance to get their hands on sought after sneakers at a lower retail price with its second edition of OG drops.
The online marketplace is offering trainers at their much lower original retail price through an onsite raffle and a music-themed Sneaker Store pop-up in Manchester.
This represents the second iteration of the OG Drops Sneaker Store, after eBay partnered with chicken shop Morley’s earlier this year to open the first Sneaker Store in London’s Brick Lane.

Through a £1.00 charity raffle on eBay, live HERE, people can purchase a curated selection of iconic music sneakers for the original price that the silhouette first dropped at.
eBay is offering the £1,200 Nike Air Jordan 4 X Travis Scott for only £90; Grateful Dead Dunks, currently reselling at £1,200, for just £51 and Adidas Yeezy 350 Oxford Tan, valued at £750 for £78.
All proceeds from the on-site raffle will go towards Manchester’s Olympias Music Foundation, a charity who work to champion diversity in music.
“We’re focusing on sneakers from iconic music moments in this next version, as the cultural connection runs deep,” eBay UK sneaker category manager, Wahaaj Shabbir said.
