Although sneaker consignment store and website Stadium Goods has only been open for a month, it’s already making moves beyond its brick-and-mortar and online presence to become a go-to source for rare sneakers. Not only has the retailer opened its own eBay store, but it also partnered with the auction website develop custom sneaker and street-wear content exclusively for the site.
“As a leader in the sneaker marketplace, we’re thrilled to be partnering with eBay, the world’s premiere destination for selling and buying. We believe that together, eBay and Stadium Goods will offer sneaker enthusiasts around the world the most premium omnichannel experience that consumers have long been asking for,” said John McPheters, co-founder and CEO of Stadium Goods, in a statement.
According to Stadium Goods, the partnership was created to offer resellers access to a broader audience, with Stadium Goods being in charge of back-end buyer interaction, order fulfillment and customer service.
