This is the time of year when a lot of people buy shoes—for both themselves and their loved ones. And you might be wondering which are the hottest sneakers on the marketplace. Luckily, eBay recently made their shoe data available to RealClearLife, so we can tell you exactly which pairs are garnering the most attention (and dollars) from consumers.
Here’s a look at the most in-demand, scarce, and popular sneakers that have sold on eBay in 2016. As you might expect, Nike and Adidas dominate the list. Which is good news if you would prefer that no one else wore your Saucony Mirage 4s.
