It is no secret that Craigslist has been the home to some Hall of Fame worthy ratchet moments over the past decade. The sneaker game hasn’t been immune to the crazy listings that make you wonder how people are dumb enough to post this stuff and how others are brave enough to actually meet some of these people face to face. We decided to weed through the archives and post some of the best listings here. Check out 10 Hilarious Craigslist Sneaker Ads and share your Craigslist experiences here as well.
Way Too Personal Shopper
Sneaker: You name it.
Um...taking foot fetish to another level. And how did dude pick THOSE shoes to show in the ad? Better be real specific about style if you take him up on this.
Will Do Anything For Galaxies. No, Really.
Sneaker: Nike Air Foamposite One "Galaxy"
We hope this is a Ducktales because no kid should go that crazy for a pair of shoes, but doesn't this sound like some real pervy quid pro quo?
Cole World
Sneaker: Air Jordan XIII "Playoffs"
We hate to sound so skeptical, but that looks like some random person wrote J. Cole with a Sharpie on the bottom of a pair of Jordans. (Why would you have someone sign the sole of a pair of shoes anyway?) Even if this is legit, it reminds us a little bit of this.
Get Me Out Of Here
Sneaker: Nike Air Yeezy II
$600 for a swap in line isn't the worst thing we have seen price wise, but why this person needed to get out in the first place is priceless. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
We Do Layaway
Sneaker: Air Jordan XI "Concord"
We know times are tough out there financially and thankfully some resellers recognize that too. This seller in Suffolk County, NY has a payment plan set up if you can't pay full price — the box, one shoe, or both kicks depending on what you have in your wallet. Honestly, we want to pay him for "da hole kitten cabootle" alone.
Price Check On Aisle WTF
Sneaker: Air Jordan VI "Olympics"
No shoe can quite bring you back together with your kid like "Olympic" VIs—or at least that is this seller's pitch. We guess that could work, but the $10,000 price tag? Fall back, homie. (This seller was clearly unaware of the "restock" concept.)
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned For Sneakers
Sneaker: Nike Air Yeezy II
The text is tough to read but basically homegirl's dude had some extra-curricular activities going on and she tossed his Yeezy IIs up on Craigslist for revenge. Cold blooded.
Have Jordans, Want Puppy
Sneaker: Air Jordan Son of Mars
Any time you're trading kicks for a living creature is a bit suspect, but if you want an adorable puppy that's not a mutt, you're going to have to ante up with some IIIs at least.
Will Trade Car For Sneakers
Sneaker: Nike Air Foamposite One "Galaxy"
After the "Concord" Jordan XIs created mayhem throughout malls, the thirst for the "Galaxy" Foamposites was unreal. A dude in Queens took it too far though, his '96 Chevy Cavalier for a pair of 10.5s was enough to get the deal done...full tank of gas included. How could anyone say no? (If only the car had a Galaxy paintjob.)
