Selling premium sneakers online is more than just listing a pair and hoping someone buys them. When the order finally comes in—especially for a collectible pair—it’s crucial to ship them correctly. Today I’m sharing the full process of packing and shipping a sold pair of Nike Air Force 1 Flyleather Ruohan Wang CZ3990-900, Size 13, one of the most unique and artistic Air Force 1 collaborations ever made.
This particular pair is on its way to eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee center, which requires an additional level of care. eBay’s program ensures buyers receive genuine sneakers, and because this order qualifies, eBay covers the shipping cost to the authentication facility. That means safer shipping for the buyer and savings for the seller.
Why This Pair Is Special
The Ruohan Wang Air Force 1 release is known for its bold, colorful, artistic design. Here’s what makes it stand out in the sneaker world:
-
Constructed with Flyleather, an eco-conscious Nike material
-
Designed by renowned artist Ruohan Wang
-
Released in 2020 as part of a limited Nike art series
-
Features a multicolor graphic pattern that collectors love
-
Size 13 (EU 47.5) — a size that is harder to find and highly sought after
-
Eligible for eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee, increasing buyer confidence
Whether you resell sneakers part-time or full-time, collectible pairs like this require next-level packaging.
How I Packed This Pair for Safe Shipping
In this video, I walk through the complete packing method I use for hype shoes, premium sneakers, and rare collaborations. Proper packing prevents damage during transit and ensures the box and shoes arrive in the same condition they were sold in.
Here are the main steps covered:
1. Preparing the sneakers
The shoes are cleaned, checked, and positioned correctly inside the original box to avoid movement.
2. Using the double-box method
High-value sneakers should never be shipped in the retail box alone. The retail box is placed inside a properly sized shipping box for additional protection.
3. Protecting structure and shape
Packing paper, foam, or bubble wrap is added inside the retail box to prevent the sneakers from shifting.
4. Securing the shipping box
Bubble wrap and void fill materials keep the retail box from sliding inside the shipping box.
5. Applying the eBay Authenticity Guarantee label
Because eBay authenticates the item before sending it to the buyer, their label must be positioned correctly.
6. Shipping to save money and time
Since eBay covers shipping to the authenticator, the seller saves on postage, making the entire process more cost-efficient.
Why This Matters for Resellers
If you ship sneakers on platforms such as eBay, StockX, GOAT, or Mercari, proper packaging is essential. Not only does it protect your profit, but it also helps avoid returns, damage claims, and negative reviews.
This tutorial is especially helpful if you sell:
-
Collectible sneakers
-
Limited collaborations
-
Nike Air Force 1 and Jordan models
-
Premium or premium-priced pairs
-
Anything going through an authentication program
The techniques shown in this video will help you ship confidently and professionally.
