Hikmet Sugoer is an OG in sneaker culture, and in 2016 he set out to kick start his own footwear brand titled SONRA. Since starting this initiative, he’s been able to execute collaborative projects with the likes of DHL and Hanon, and now he’s extending this catalog with a SONRA Proto 3 team-up with eBay.”I have been using eBay for over 20 years”, Sugoer says. “Over the years I have made some contacts that have become friends. These friendships have really formed and a huge sneaker community has grown out of it. Therefore, it is obvious that now the new SONRA Proto 3 “eBay” is being released.”There are a barrage of playful elements to their desing. Most of the upper is fashioned with a buttery gray suede, but each shoe comes styled with colors borrowed from the multinational e-commerce corporation’s signature logo atop the tongues, lower heel overlays and the mid-foot logos. Star shapes are pasted to the rear end to symbolize eBay rating system, and the actual eBay logo adorns each heel.These are limited to only 150 pairs globally and can be purchased now via here.In case you missed it, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Mambacita Sweet 16” is set to be released through exclusive access on SNKRS.Click here to view full gallery at HYPEBEAST
