If you’re from Baltimore, the Bronx or Memphis, there’s a near-guarantee you’ve owned a Nike Air Force 1 before. But how about a Puma Cali Star Sneakers in wit zwart or even NIKE MAG shoes? Continue ahead for brief history lessons on all three designs. With the eBay Authenticity Guarantee, adding a pair (or three) to your back-to-school rotation is easier–and safer–than ever. And if you’re looking to put some money in your pocket for school supplies, eBay’s got you covered as there are no seller fees on sneaker listings above $100. Everybody wins.

If you’re looking for some Back-To-School kicks, there’s few better than the Nike Air Force 1.
