Rare Wrestling Shoes Co

Look Good. Feel Good. Wrestle Good.

A constantly changing Inventory of rare wrestling shoes.

My largest brand collections are Adidas, Asics, and Nike.  View my brand-specific shoe collections below.

A Growing Collection of Vintage Wrestling Shoes

Rare Wrestling Shoes Co. is home to one of the largest old school wrestling shoe collections featuring shoes from leading brands.  Many shoes on this site were manufactured 20+ years ago, making them tough to find anywhere else.  Whether you're a collector looking to expand your collection or a wrestler looking for a unique pair of wrestling shoes for the season, there's a good chance you'll find them here!  My inventory is constantly changing, so if you don't find what you need, check back in the future.  Though I do sell shoes if the price is right, please keep in mind that I'm first and foremost a collector who appreciates the history of the shoes I collect so many of my shoes are listed above market price (on apps like eBay) and that's because many of these have taken me years to acquire for my collection.

I not only collect rare shoes, I also try to spread knowledge about them to those wanting to learn more.  The main purpose of this site wasn't designed to sell shoes, but rather talk about them and show them off!

The RareWrestlingShoes.com Difference

Clear images, clear pricing, and clear descriptions. Each and every pair of shoes I sell will have all information you need to make an offer.  If there are any questions on a pair of wrestling shoes I have listed, please use the contact form on the site and I will respond as quickly as I can via email.

At this time, every pair of wrestling shoes on this site are mine. At this time, I do not list shoes for other sellers. I want to make sure that each pair of shoes I list has an accurate description and photos that are showing the shoe's true condition.

I'm constantly purchasing and updating my inventory or shoes. At any given time you may find those rare Kolat's you're looking for, a nice pair of Asics Rulons, or even some Original Adidas Combat Speeds.

About The Owner

My name is Nolan Barger and I've been collecting rare shoes for over 15 years.  Over those years I've owned over 1000 pair of wrestling shoes.  I started doing most of my buying, selling, and trading on Flickr under the names Barg130, Barg145, Barg165, and RaisingTheBARG.  After numerous scams I encountered, I left Flickr and began selling shoes only on eBay.  Eventually, I left eBay due to high service fees and established Rare Wrestling Shoes Co., an LLC in the State of Pennsylvania.

As a wrestler, I wrestled for Clearfield High School in PA, where I was a state medalist.  I then wrestled at Lycoming College where I was a 3x DIII All-American.  Now I am involved with the sport as a fan and a coach.  Day-to-day, I'm the Head of Innovation for our Data Technology team at the Digital Marketing Agency I work for.  Rare Wrestling Shoes is a small side business I manage in my spare time. I will note that I am mainly a collector and I use this website to learn and test theories I have within the marketing world, though I do also sell when the offer is right!
