Former Nike Employee Of Over 30 Years Lists A Major Haul Of Rare Samples on eBay

Given the high levels of secrecy within the Beaverton walls, we may never grasp the full breadth of wackiness at the famed Innovation Kitchen. An ex-Nike employee who worked in that experimental division for over thirty years is giving us a small peek at the internal concotions as he’s teamed up with guide eBay seller and Swoosh historian Shoezeum to reveal some unreleased look-see/wear-test samples that never made it to production. Some of the jaw-droppers include an Air Force 1 slide, an Air Force 1 Shox (with the notorious cushion pillars seen through the sole), a Fuseposite sample from the peak of Alpha Project’s basketball creations, a Foamposite snowboard boot, and an Air Max 1 with an inner sock. Alongside these rare one-offs are a bunch of other random knick-knacks (like a Flywire wallet) that any Nike fanatic should definitely take a gander at, so check out some of our standouts below and see the full assortment of eBay listings here.
