THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE SHOES

Did you know that some of the world's most expensive shoes are actually sneakers? It's not just designer stilettos, but also sneakers that dominate the list of shoes in the world that have been sold for the most staggering sums. Get the big picture here.

What are the world's most expensive shoes?

The most expensive pair of sneakers ever sold is a pair of Air Jordan 13 “Bred” worn and signed by Michael Jordan. They sold in 2023 for no less than $2.2 million.

And this is far from the only pair of Air Jordans to be on the list of the world's most expensive shoes.

Also in 2023, a pair of Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” sold for $1.38 million. These shoes had also been worn and signed by Michael Jordan, which is of course the reason for their enormous value.

This is also the case with the two pairs of Air Jordan 1 “Chicago”, which in 2020 and 2022 were sold for 615,000 and 675,000 dollars, respectively.

Another of the world's most expensive sneakers

Yahoo's list of the world's most expensive shoes also includes a number of other sneakers. In 2021, a pair of Nike Air Yeezy Samples sold for $1.8 million. Kayne West wore this pair to the 2008 Grammy Awards.

Another prominent and extremely valuable pair of sneakers that you may have heard of are the gold-plated solid-gold OVO x Air Jordan 10s, which were estimated to be worth a staggering $1.9 million in 2016. This is a mix between sneakers and art. It is artist Matt Senna who is behind the work, which is plated with 24-karat gold.

The shoes are not meant to be used as a utility item, but as a work of art. And even if you had $2 million, they would hardly be for sale – they belong to rapper Drake.

The world's most expensive shoes from Nike

So it's Nike that sits firmly on the throne when it comes to producing the world's most expensive shoes within the sneaker world.

The fact that the Air Jordan brand belongs to Nike helps the popular sneaker brand well on its way to having some of the world's most expensive shoes. It is Air Jordan that tops the charts with the many different models that Michael Jordan has worn during his impressive basketball career.

However, Nike has also been impressively good at entering into some very prominent collaborations that significantly increase the prices of their sneakers. In 2020, for example, Nike and Air Jordan entered into a collaboration with fashion giant Dior . This has resulted in a few cool models that cost up to 75,000 kroner.
