If you fancy your sneakers, then you’re going to enjoy this list.
We’re huge sneaker-heads ourselves. You can’t beat a pair of new kicks, right?!
So, here’s a list of the most expensive sneakers ever produced for all sneaker lovers out there.
#1 Gold Coated OVO x Air Jordans – $2 Million
It’s a huge hike from second to the first position, but if you’re thinking of blowing $100,000 on a pair of sneakers anyway, then you may as well go one better.
There had to be a time when a pair of sneakers were covered in 24k gold, and that date finally came when Drake partnered up with Nike to create the Hard Gold OVO x Air Jordan.
American designer Matthew Senna designed them, and each footwear weighs 50lbs!
$2 Million seems like a real deal with all things thought.
#2 Michael Jordan’s Converse Fastbreak – $190,373
Surely the most prized game-worn sneakers ever, Michael Jordans Converse Fastbreaks auctioned for $190,000.
In 1984, team USA got gold at the Olympics in Los Angeles. Decades following, a pair of Converse Fastbreaks autographed by Michael Jordan came up for sale.
First only assumed to reach $100,000, the sale far exceeded every sneaker-head mind!
Who’d of imagined a pair of converse could be valued at $190,000!
#3 Buscemi 100 MM Diamond – $132,000
Appearing in at number three on our list of the most costly sneakers ever made are the Buscemi 100 MM Diamonds.
Filled with 11.5 carats of diamonds and plated in 18-karat gold, this footwear isn’t for the faint-hearted.
If you’re scanning for a fresh pair of white kicks and like something totally different, then blow up $132,000, and they’re all yours!
#4 Air Jordan 12 – $104,000
Not in the top three, but pretty near, are the Air Jordan 12 Flu Games.
Once considered the most valuable Jordans in the world, the cost stems from the fact that Michael Jordan wore the kicks in the notorious “Flu Game,” a match he performed while having the flu.
Trading for $104,000, these are also some of the most expensive shoes on the market!
#5 Air Jordan 12 OVO (Drake Version)– $100,000
The Air Jordan 12 OVO has always been a hot kick, though the Drake edition blew the doors off its hooks, trading for $100,000 on eBay!
Famous with many sports stars, singers, and major a-listers, the Drake version OVO’s are only really available to the rich and influential.
$100,000 makes this one of the most valuable sneakers ever created!
#6 Diamond Studded Air Force 1 – $50,000
If you have extravagant taste and fancy diamonds, then you’re going to admire Big Boi’s Diamond Encrusted Air Force 1’s.
Not the most expensive of shoes in the world, nor used by any major players; rather, these shoes are wrapped in champagne crystals, which is why they fetch $50,000.
Wearing a pair of kicks like this might draw the wrong kind of attention, which is why Big Boi sold off his kicks to raise funds for his charity.
#7 Air Jordan 2 OG – $31,000
Yet another Air Jordon on the list, the 2 OG is a coveted piece of kicks legacy, which is why it can hold such a huge price.
Not the most good-looking of kicks, it has to be said, but you can rock these sneakers with a ton of various apparel and look new all day long.$31,000, and you can rock them!
#8 Eminem an Carhartt Collab Air Jordan 4 – $30,000
Like most artists, Eminem loves his kicks.
He’s created a few excellent limited-edition collaborations already, so when he was asked to collab with Carhartt, things were about to get crazy.
They only manufactured 10 pairs in whole and were one of the first kicks ever to be immediately traded through eBay.
All the profits went to Michigan State University’s music academy. Altogether, sneaker-heads paid over $227,000 on the 10 exclusive kicks.
#9 DJ Khaled and Air Jordan 3 ‘Grateful’ – $25,000
Whether you admire him or hate him, DJ Khaled’s Air Jordan 3 Grateful’s are just too good!
We don’t need to inform you that you’re going to need some amazingly deep pockets if you want to seize yourself a pair of these sneakers.
A few months after launch, the stunning red kicks were selling for $16,000 and $25,000! We mean WOW!
#10 Macklemore and Air Jordan 6 Collab– $25,000
Another rapper sneaker collab, this time around by Macklemore, is the Macklemore Air Jordan 6.
If you’ve only got $20,000 inside your pocket, then you sway want to see away, as these bad boys require a hefty $25,000.
Talking about frugality and building your own fashion, in his song Thrift Shop, it’s sort of hard to see Macklemore roaming the walk now that he’s designed a $25,000 sneaker!
Nonetheless, they’ve still earned their way onto our list of the most valuable sneakers ever sold.
#11 Air Jordan 10 OVO – $20,000
Jordans are super trendy in the sneaker world. They look exceptional, are easy to wear, and are synonymous with the icon himself, Michael Jordon.
Now, enthusiasts are known to do absurd things when it comes to games, but one basketball devotee was fortunate enough to be gifted a pair of Air Jordan 10 OVO’s and then auctioned them online for $20,000!
Probably subjected to tax, but still a great outcome!
#12 Air Jordan 4 Undefeated – $15,000
The Air Jordan 4 Undefeated auctioned for $15,000 on eBay because the owner insisted they were made from the ballistic substance.
Odd to say the least, but it’s not unusual as Air Jordans usually sell for mad prices, as you’ll see in our list.
Hobbyists love a great pair of Jordans 4s, so most collectors will spend whatever it takes to secure a single pair.
#13 Nike Air Mag Back to the Future Edition– $14,500
Truly looking like something from the future, the Air Mags were motivated by the Nike kicks in the film, Back to the Future 2.
They’re rather rare and last traded at auction for $14,500.
To flaunt a pair of these, you’re going to have to have some serious court cred and a solid standing in the fashion game.
#14 Adidas NMD_R1 Friends and Family Sneakers – $10,000
The only pair of Adidas kicks covered in our list of the most valuable sneaker ever made are the NMD_R1 Friends and Family.
This sneaker fashion is only for a certain type of spirit, but it is a clean-looking kick. Having stated that, the NMD has been undeniably victorious, marketing out of colorway after colorway.
