For a long time, sneakers have only been shoes for everyday life or sport - they have become much more. Status symbol, luxury and style have been influencing the community for years and drives the sneakers to heights that cannot be predicted.
I did some research and listed the top 5 most expensive sneakers!
If you want a second part, write us a DM on Instagram and let us know.
Nike Air Mag
Sure, we all know the cult film "Back in the Future 2" in the Marty McFly presented the iconic Nike Sneaker for the first time on large screen. The shoe has a self -snorting technology inspired by the film. The Nike Air Mag came out twice, once in 2011 and then again in 2016. With a gray upper and a striking, white Swooosh and a clear sole, the Nike Air is really a single piece, of which every collector dreams of. With a violent price of up to € 75,000, many dreams will never come true, but a few are not suitable for wear anyway, but rather an exhibit.
Nike SB Dunk Low Paris
The rarest Nike Dunk ever existed is the Nike SB Dunk Low Paris. In cooperation with the Parisian Boutique "Collette", Nike launched a real collector's item in 2003, which is limited to 202 couples. The hype of the sneaker has always been extreme, but since Travis Scott the Nike SB Dunk Low Paris played at an NBA game, the price went from € 10,000 to € 40,000 in just a few weeks. Celebristies are really so important in today's marketing, in the game there was a buddy from Travis next to him, who wore his new darks. That triggered immense hype and was a clever move by Nike and the musician.
Nike SB Dunk Low Tokyo
I only heard of the shoe here and there before my research, but I couldn't find out that much. In 2004 the White Dunk Art Exhbition came to Tokyo and only 200 pairs were made here. But you wanted to avoid campouts in the city and so tickets could be bought - 10,000 pieces! So the chance was practically zero to get one. The Nike SB Dunk Low Tokyo has a special feature, and it is the first real blank canvas sneaker from Nike, only the Nike Swoosh on the side has been embroidered, otherwise there are no signs of logos.
The sneaker was last sold for € 13,000.
Air Jordan 4 Eminem Encore
The first real artist/Nike Collaboration was with the US rapper Eminem and hit great. In the couple, only 50 (!) Couples were made and also only published for Friends & Family, so you could never buy the extremely rare sneaker. The dark blue wild leather with black details and the famous airbubble is really a mega successful colorway. The name "Encore" is a homage to Eminem's album of the same name, which came out in 2004. Nowadays the Air Jordan 4 Eminem Encore almost nowhere and was recently sold to the US producer DJ Khaled, who has been looking for the sneakers for ages for € 50,000. An extremely rare couple!
Nike Air Yeezy Red October
The Red October was a staple piece in Kanye West's sneaker career. The sneakers were launched in 2014 and were sold out as quickly as no release before. The Nike Air Yeezy Red October was published in all red and with unique, shiny materials. At that time, the shoe was a symbol of the connection between fashion and hip-hop culture. The demand has always been high and for € 14,000 he was sold over Stockx for the last time. There were a total of three Colorways of the Nike Air Yeezy series, but none of them are in demand as the Red October, who is by far the most exotic.
Buscemi 100mm Diamond
Probably the most unknown sneaker in this list is from the US High-End sneaker manufacturer Buscemi. The model was designed by the designer Jon Buscemi of the same name and was occupied with striking diamonds. The high -quality materials on and under the sneaker make the sneaker worth up to € 130,000! An 18-carat diamang in gold version gives the Buscemi 100mm Diamond its name. The sneaker was released in 2014 and since then has the attention of Celebreties and sneaker enthusiasts from all over the world.
