Buying sneakers is one of the things that many people enjoy. However, you cannot help but immediately start looking for the next one that would compliment your shoe rack as soon as you buy one pair. The only bad thing about buying sneakers is usually the price, which sometimes makes us take extreme measures in order to save up the money.
The sneaker resale market is showing no signs of slowing down. This is because all the designs keep coming out from time to time and all of them look so great. Other than looking great, the price is also getting more and more ridiculously expensive. These are actually 5 of the most expensive sneakers ever made in this whole wide world.
1) Solid Gold OVO x Air Jordans – $2 Million (RM 8,310,997)
It’s a bit of a steep jump from second to the first position, but if you’re thinking of spending $100,000 on a pair of sneakers anyway, then you may as well go one better. There had to be a day when a pair of sneakers were coated in 24k gold, and that day finally came when Drake collaborated with Nike to make the Solid Gold OVO x Air Jordan. They were created by American artist Matthew Senna and each shoe weighs 50lbs. $2 Million seems like a good deal with all things considered.
2) Michael Jordan’s Game Worn Converse Fastbreak – $190,373 (RM 791,094)
Arguably the most expensive game-worn sneakers ever, Michael Jordans Converse Fastbreaks sold for $190,000. In 1984, team USA won gold at the Olympics in Los Angeles.
