Have you missed your chance to cop the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 "Turtledove", KAWS x Air Jordan 4 or the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 High back in the day? Then you now get a second chance! Not for the original price, but at least you get the sneakers from one of the biggest sneakerheads in Germany. We'll show you here what this Grail auction on eBay is all about and when the drops will take place.

Passionate sneakerhead and pioneer Hikmet Sugoer is opening up his massive archive for eBay and making room for something new. Hikmet auctions off round about 800 pairs on the auction platform and fulfils his wife's dream of owning a creative studio. But the sneakerhead doesn't keep all the money in the family, because part of the proceeds goes to the German charity "Straßenkinder e. V.". Of course, every sneaker purchased also goes through the eBay authenticity check.

Every country has its sneaker king and in Germany it would probably be Hikmet Sugoer. The Berlin-born entrepreneur owns an enormous collection of sneakers, which he has been archiving for decades. In 2002, he founded Solebox, his first sneaker store in Germany. Many years later, he sold it to Snipes in 2013.

For the sneaker prophet, however, the journey did not end with the sale. Three years later, Hikmet Sugoer produced his own sneakers. The brand "Sonra" was born and has been a complete success since the beginning. He sells the shoes directly through his own Sonra online shop all around Germany. Some of the Sonra sneakers cost up to 300€ and are sold out in just a few seconds. The label even cooperated with big companies like Porsche Design or DHL Express.

"Sonra" is a Turkish word and means "next" in English, which is a reference to Steve Job's company "NeXT".

Hikmet Sugoer and eBay announce a six-part drop calendar. It means that round about 800 sneakers will be released in several groups. Here's what the current schedule looks like:

Drop 1: Collab I - February 1st

Drop 2: Running - February 8th

Drop 3: Basketball - February 15th

Drop 4: Tech - February 22nd

Drop 5: Hype - March 1st
