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 sold for the most staggering sums worldwide. Get the full overview 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 were sold in 2023 for no less than 2.2 million dollars.

And this is far from the only pair of Air Jordans 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 dollars. These shoes were also both worn and signed by Michael Jordan, which is naturally 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.

Other of the world's most expensive sneakers

On Yahoo’s list of the world's most expensive shoes, we also find a number of other sneakers. In 2021, a pair of Nike Air Yeezy Sample sold for 1.8 million dollars. Kanye West wore this pair at the Grammy Awards in 2008.

Another prominent and highly valuable pair of sneakers you might have heard of are the gilded solid-gold OVO x Air Jordan 10s, which in 2016 were estimated to be worth a staggering 1.9 million dollars. This is a mix between sneakers and art. The artist Matt Senna is behind the piece, which is gilded with 24 karat gold.

The shoes are not meant as a functional item, but as a work of art. And even if you have 2 million dollars, they are hardly for sale – they belong to rapper Drake.

The world's most expensive shoes from Nike

It is Nike that firmly holds the throne when it comes to producing the world's most expensive shoes within the sneaker world.

That the Air Jordan brand is under Nike helps the popular sneaker brand to have some of the world's most expensive shoes. It is Air Jordan that tops the lists with the many different models Michael Jordan wore in his impressive basketball career.

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