True vintage starts at 25. At least that's what we think. So we went digging — well, e-digging, anyway — through eBay to see what we could find. Click through to check out 10 Insane Vintage Nikes You Can Buy on eBay Right Now.
blazer-10
Nike Blazer Canvas
Current Price: $9.99
Size: 15
From such humble beginnings came everything from the Air Jordan to the LeBron 9 to the Kobe System (you're welcome). Best known in its suede iterations, the classic Blazer is seen here in canvas, in a size best-suited for hardwood monsters. Buy 'em and send 'em to LeBron.

bruins-200
Nike Bruin
Current Price: $200 (Buy It Now)
Size: 11
It is quite possible that the author of this piece had an identical pair of Bruins (albeit in a smaller size) in fourth grade. It is equally possible that said Bruins were his first Nikes ever, and thus he is slightly predisposed towards said shoes.
waffleii-225
Nike Waffle II
Current Price: $225 (Buy It Now)
Size: 12.5
These are amazing. An original pair of Waffle IIs — made in the USA, no less — in a super-dope colorway, still in the original box, for less than a pair of LeBron 9 Elites. You will not find a cooler pair of 32-year-old running shoes anywhere.
macattack-250
Nike Mac Attack
Current Price: $250 (Buy It Now)
Size: 3.5
The Mac Attack is one of the coolest tennis shoes ever — and hopefully the release of the stripped-down Nike Sportswear Manor means a retro is coming. In the meantime, you can pick up these itty-bitty originals to display with your tennis trophies. Love the tag.
terminator-300
Nike Terminator
Current Price: $299.99 (Buy It Now)
Size: 14
Why buy VNTG Terminators when you can buy a true vintage pair? These size 14s may not have been worn by a Hoya (they're coming from San Francisco), but they could have been. More than can be said for the latest faux-aged pair.
jordans-406
Nike Air Jordan
Current Price: $406.23
Size: 12
Outside of the black/red and white/black/red, white/grey seems to be the most common color of original Air Jordans. But you'll almost never see a pair in any color as clean as these. The "worn once" claim can be disputed, but the perfect ankle collars can't be. Beautiful.
waffle-530
Nike Waffle Trainer
Current Price: $610
Size: 9.5
When it comes to Nike running shoes, these are as iconic as it gets — a 36-year-old pair of Waffle Trainers brand-new in the original box. Short of buying Bill Bowerman's waffle iron, this is as close to Nike's roots as you're going to get. (We're pretty sure the waffle iron isn't for sale.)
jordans-700
Nike Air Jordan
Current Price: $700 (Buy It Now)
Size: 10
We've seen a pair exactly like this one before, but double-laced OG Air Jordans will never get old. Word to Walter Berry.
dunks-1200
Nike Air Dunk
Current Price: $1,249.99 (Buy It Now)
Size: 15.5
These go beyond holy grail status. A game-worn pair of Nike Dunks from Kentucky, equipped with an Air Force 1 midsole and an outsole pattern that's somewhere between the Dunk and AF1. A 26-year-old player-issue hybrid that you'll likely never see available again. Incredible.
