Nike's famous "moon shoes" sold for an out-of-this-world price at Sotheby's.
The rarest and most important pair of Nike sneakers in the world has accomplished an incredibly rare feat: It’s now the most expensive pair of sneakers ever sold at auction.
A price of $160,000 for old looking sneakers is ridiculous, so why were these shoes worth $437,500 to the buyer? They’re not just special, they’re also vintage, unique, and impossible to find any other way. According to the Sacramento Bee, they were originally designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman in 1972 and made by hand for the 1972 Olympics.
The pair that was sold is believed to be the only unworn pair in existence, and were owned by a man named Dave Russell, who got the shoes for free after he ran the marathon at the Olympic trials in 1972.
