A seller on eBay addresses collectors directly with this “offer,” which can even be paid in installments. We tell you the details.
A “Nike Swoosh-shaped potato chip” has appeared on eBay, with a price that might make even the most avid collectors think twice. At $1,800, that’s no small feat. It is marketed as a one-of-a-kind item, perfect for those with a taste for the unique and a considerable disposable income.

The seller, known as impala6_9, normally sells football cards, but has decided to serve up a side of a peculiar culinary collectible. Described as “for the Nike collector,” the unaltered and once-edible memorabilia is certainly fun.
If you’re saving up for, say, actual sneakers and aren’t willing to spend nearly a couple thousand dollars in one go, there’s even the option to spread the cost over 24 monthly payments of $75.
Little is known about how feasible it is to sell a potato chip shaped like the Nike Swoosh. But one thing is clear in all this, the eBay seller knows that collectors are willing to pay thousands of dollars for their favorite footwear brands.
A lucrative market in collecting
According to a CNN article, the auction record for sports shoes has been broken multiple times since 2017, going from just over US$190,000 for a pair of Converse signed by Michael Jordan, worn in the ’84 Olympic Games, to the US$615,000 paid for a pair of the basketball star’s Nike Air Jordan 1 in 2020.
Then, in early 2021, another of Kanye West’s creations, the Nike x Yeezys prototype he wore at the 2008 Grammys, became the most expensive sneakers in history after selling through a private sale for $1. .8 million.
