The world of designer sneakers can surprise, and not only with fancy designs. Check out what shoe models are the most popular among collectors. What makes them stand out from the rest? Which pair of shoes from the Nike brand is considered the most expensive?
Thousands of dollars spent on one pair of sports shoes? It seems unbelievable to many of us, but collectors constantly amaze, breaking through the next stakes. Sneaker culture has its own rules. The most expensive sports shoes are not only unique models. Some of them are handmade, others set with white diamonds.
Let's also note that Air Jordan shoes did not appear in the following list. Although it is their model, the Bred Air Jordan 13 to be exact, that holds the record for the highest sales amount when it comes to a pair worn by an athlete. In 2021, they were sold for more than $2 million. The shoes in question, of course, are those of Michael Jordan. The basketball player played in them during the games that led him to his sixth and final NBA championship with the Chicago Bulls team. What's more, Michael Jordan himself signed the shoes before handing them over to one of the boys passing the balls during the game.
But let's get back to the shoes in whose name you find Nike. What models does every sneakerhead dream about? All the prices make your head spin.
These shoes will delight any fan of horror classics. Freddy Kruger is considered a canonical figure of horror films. Fans of the cinematic terror enjoy dressing up as him every year to celebrate Halloween. So it's no surprise that Nike also decided to make a nod to the popular slasher.
In 2007, the brand released a model of shoes that are immediately associated with Freddy. The distinctive colors - green and red - refer to his sweater. In turn, Nike's silver logo is reminiscent of the blades protruding from Kruger's gloves, which he used to scare people on screen. Their price also hit $30,000.
One of the most popular Nike SB releases is the Low Staple NYC Pigeon model. Only 150 pairs of these were produced, a testament to their exclusivity. Although the sneakers do not stand out, they are sought after by sneakerheads not only in New York. The drop took place in 2005. At that time they cost only $300, their current price is as high as $38,000.
As you can see, the Nike brand likes to be inspired by representatives of nature. These are some of the rarest pairs, the number of which on the market is rumored. What's more, they never made it to retail. There's no denying that the mustard yellow upper with an inner red insole further distinguishes these sneakers. Released in 2009, they settle at around $42,000.
These are the world's most expensive shoes in the Nike Air Force 1 series. The white sneakers are emblazoned with 11-carat diamonds. What's more, the upper is also embellished by gold accents. Their price is $50,000.
Nike Dunk SB Low Paris is another model belonging to the category of extremely unique and rare. There are no two pairs that are the same, as each of them has been hand-decorated by a French artist. Their value on the market reached $69,000, and they were sold for $62,000.
These are the only expensive kicks in the list, whose value on the market (just over $56 thousand) has dropped compared to the price of the last sale ($63 thousand). On the other hand, they stand out for something else. The FLOM model is a real grail. Only 24 pairs of them were produced, making them extremely rare.
If an unusual shoe is your favorite kind of footwear, check out this model. The Nike MAG Back to the Future will also appeal to fans of cult cinema, especially from the science-fiction genre. Backlit elements are not the only distinguishing feature of this pair. Also noteworthy are the distinctive shape of the upper or the buckle at ankle height. The market value reaches nearly $77,000.
The fruit of cooperation between Nike and Louis Vuitton should not be surprised by the amount. The design itself is also hardly shocking. The first pair of this model was released in 2022, then their average price was $100,000. At this moment on the market they are worth 75 thousand.
These are the most expensive used shoes sold at auction. Collector Nick Fiorella bought the Nike Air Ships for $1.47 million. Michael Jordan wore this pair before the iconic Air Jordan was even created.
The famous rapper and Nike joined forces. This led to the creation of the shoe model that launched Yeezy in 2008. The controversial West performed in the unique sports shoes at the 50th Grammy Awards ceremony.
Buying designer footwear is considered an investment. Sneaker quotas on the market are constantly changing. Long years bring a multiplication of their original value. Nike's most expensive shoes include athletic shoe models that range in price from $30,000 to nearly $2 million.
