Here's your chance to level up your sneaker game
Got a (healthy) obsession with building your sneaker collection? You’ll want to hear about eBay’s new collaboration with gamer, presenter and entrepreneur Alhan Gençay. Here’s the rundown.
eBay X Alhan Gençay: Everything You Need To Know
If you’re a self-confessed sneakerhead who just so happens to be a gamer (or vice versa), eBay’s collab with Alhan Gençay is just the thing for you. Celebrating the relaunch of eBay’s ‘In Session With’ series – created to highlight the different interests and hobbies within the UK’s sneaker community – the partnership will see Alhan and eBay host a free immersive gaming event at BRIX London on Tuesday 11 June.
So, how exactly does gaming tie into trainers? All will become clear during the BRIX event, which will encompass a knock-out gaming tournament against Alhan himself. Participants will embark on a quest for sneaker gems, with a range of rare trainers up for grabs from the eBay Authenticity Guarantee service – plus vouchers to spend across the eBay site. The night will also offer the chance to hear Alhan chat with sneakerhead and TikTok star FDfromtheFuture, a representative from female-led collective SneakerSisterhood, and Wahaaj Shabbir, eBay’s UK Sneakers Lead (yes, such a job does actually exist). In an exciting twist, the event will also feature an announcement of a special competition providing further opportunity to win an exclusive prize.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Alhan said: ‘Sneakers and gaming are my two serious passions. Whenever I want some of those super rare bits from both worlds, eBay is my go-to. So this felt like the perfect partnership for me.’
