Rare £70 Adidas Manchester trainers are listed on eBay for ONE THOUSAND POUNDS
Only 500 pairs of the 2010 limited-edition trainers were made
AN incredibly rare pair of Adidas Manchester trainers is listed on eBay for £1,000.
Sought after by collectors, only 500 pairs of the £70 limited-edition sneakers were made in 2010.
Known for rocketing in value, many of the special-edition shoes were snapped up by people who had no intention of ever wearing them.
Now a few pairs of the Adidas Manchester trainers are trickling back onto the market – but they come with eye-watering price tags.
One eBayer has for £999.99.
The “exclusive” size nine trainers are said to be “brand new in box” and “collectors’ investment pieces”.
The hefty “buy it now” price tag has attracted five watchers so far, with three people viewing the listing per hour.

The listing states that the trainers have “wear to the heel tips on both shoes” and “sock marks to the inners”.
The rare shoe is made from a light blue suede fabric and features bright orange stripes.
The trainers should come with two pairs of laces, one blue and one orange pair.
In October 2014, an eBay bidding war saw one buyer snap up the Adidas Manchester trainers for £150,000 – 2,000 times their original price.
