Unclaimed Baggage, the nation’s only retailer of lost luggage, is bringing some of its finds to one of the largest sneaker resale events, SNKR BST, to be held on Saturday in Chattanooga.
Founded by two self-proclaimed “sneakerheads,” SNKR BST is a traveling resale event that brings like-minded people together to celebrate “sneaker culture.” The Chattanooga event will include vendors from across the country who are bringing the best sneakers, streetwear, vintage, collectibles and more to the Chattanooga Convention Center.
“Anytime we can be involved with other organizations who share our vision to promote sustainability and give items a second life, it’s a great fit,” said Jennifer Kritner, vice president of Retail and Company Culture for Unclaimed Baggage. “The SNKR BST resale event is a great opportunity to discover the coolest finds that are just waiting to be reclaimed by new owners.”
Famous for its 50,000-square-foot retail store, treasure seekers travel far and wide to visit the Unclaimed Baggage store in Scottsboro, Al., where they can admire and purchase the weird and wonderful goods that airlines and other transportation industries have been unable to reunite with their former owners. Unclaimed Baggage finds range from clothing and sporting goods to musical instruments, vintage concert T-shirts and even exotic treasures, all priced at a bargain.
For SNKR BST, Unclaimed Baggage plans to bring a generous selection of the best sneakers from its inventory, including on-trend, in-demand brands and styles such as: Yeezys, Nike Dunks, Nike Air Max, Nike collaboration sneakers, and Jordans (Jordan 1s, Jordan 3s, Jordan 4s, and Jordan 11s).
Shoppers who enjoy a rare find can look forward to a brand-new, in-box pair of Jordan 1 Retro High OG in the A Ma Maniere colorway, and a pair of gently used Nike Air Max Plus Sneakers in the Supreme Black colorway.
For those who prefer luxury-brand sneakers, the retailer is bringing a sampling of styles from Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Christian Louboutin and more. The premium and designer items that Unclaimed Baggage receives go through an authentication process, so customers are guaranteed to buy the real deal at a fraction of the retail price.
The event is Saturday form 1-6 p.m. at the Chattanooga Convention Center, 1 Carter St. Tickets are $22 for early entry, $15 general admission. For more information and to purchase tickets, click here.
