The Most Expensive Trainers in The World

Explore the world of the most expensive trainers: from Nike Air Jordan 13s at $2.2M to rare Apple Inc. sneakers at $50K. Discover fashion's ultimate status symbols

<p>Whether you call them trainers, kicks or sneakers, they are now a global phenomenon of unimaginable proportions. Sporty footwear is relevant the world over, and has been for a while: we all need something comfortable to run around in, or at least feel comfortable. But mere functionality and, yes, even looking good, has been completely blown out of the water by a constantly-snowballing sneaker culture that has scooped up the imagination of billions across most corners of the planet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trainers – as they’re best known in the UK – really matter to people; they’re an important choice and something of a status symbol, or a signifier at the very least. At the top of this vast, hungry pyramid – fuelled by a potent mix of fashion, celebrity and community, and propelled by the zeitgeist power of social media – trainers have become highly coveted and collectible investments. Sometimes worth more than a house</p> 
<p>Their stock is only rising, too. Brands like Nike, Adidas, and Yeezy are now expert in cultivating and catering to the demand for limited-edition and limited-run releases, and are steadily unveiling cutting-edge creative collaborations with the ‘hottest’ designers, artists and celebrities in order to boost the desirability of a particular type of trainer. Whether you’re a big ‘sneakerhead’ or not, the collectibles market for trainers is something to behold. Here’s our pick of some highly notable investments, and some that are available to invest in.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 style="font-size: 30px;">GAME-WORN NIKE AIR JORDAN 13 ($2.2 MILLION)</h2> 
<p>The historical origins of ‘sneaker culture’ can be traced back to the 1980s, perfectly aligning with the rise of basketball stars like Michael Jordan and the mind-blowingly fresh hip-hop music emerging from predominantly black, urban areas of the United States of America. Vibrant cultures merged and intermingled: a glorious, Technicolor melting pot that gave rise to a cultural explosion that resonates to this day. When Chicago Bulls legend Jordan – the biggest sports star of all time, arguably, and certainly the most marketable – was first signed up by US sportswear giant Nike early, nobody could have predicted the impact it would have. When Nike used his name and created an iconic logo in his image for the release of the Nike Air Jordan 1 trainers in 1985, it was a pivotal moment – combining sports performance and street fashion with genuine intention, perhaps for the first time. But again, nobody could have imagined or foreseen the totemic influence it would have on fashion and culture for decades to come, with tens of millions of pairs of the evolving Nike Air Jordans range sold across the world. From those early days, fast forward nearly 40 years to 2023 – a breathtaking manifestation. At a Sotheby’s auction, the record for the most expensive sneakers ever sold was broken – actually&nbsp; completely smashed. The Nike Air Jordan 13 sneakers worn by Jordan during Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals fetched an astonishing $2.2 million. How so? Well, the occasion itself was truly iconic – Jordan scored 37 points as he inspired the Bulls to their sixth title of the decade in his final season. Also take into account the roaring success of the ‘The Last Dance’ documentary, which supercharged interest in the sneakers Jordan wore that day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<h2>KANYE WEST’S NIKE AIR YEEZY 1 ‘PROTOTYPE’ ($1.8 million)</h2> 
<p>The previous bank-busting record for the most expensive trainers was for another pair from the Nike Air range – Kanye West’s Yeezy 1 ‘Prototype’ sold for $1.8million when the hammer fell at Sotheby’s in April 2021, purchased with glee by the investing platform RARES and causing big waves, especially across the stunned Modern Collectables market. A master of attention-grabbing stunts and tightrope-walking PR, controversial rapper and producer West wore these iconic size 12s during his performances of ‘Hey Mama’ and ‘Stronger’ at the 2008 Grammy Awards, which recognise musical excellence and impact. But the sneaker statement proved to be a moment in history: these were the exact shoes and this was the exact moment that announced Nike’s prospective Air Yeezy project to the wider world – a huge moment for ‘sneakerheads’, and the birth of a devastatingly desirable sub industry in itself. Envisioned by Kanye himself, in tandem with leading designer Mark Smith, the pioneering prototypes feature the now-familiar forefoot strap seen on all Air Yeezy models, a soft black leather upper with nicely-perforated detailing, and a tonal Swoosh logo overlaid.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<h2>APPLE INC. OMEGA SPORTS APPLE COMPUTER SNEAKERS (Available for $50,0000 )</h2> 
<p>Perfectly obscure personifications of pop culture, in many ways, these Apple sneakers are achieving the highest cult status among certain collectors and fetching increasingly high prices at auction. Never available to the general public, these incredibly rare trainers were custom-made exclusively for lucky Apple employees in the mid-1990s and used as a special giveaway during a National Sales Conference. As such, they are a genuinely unique artifact from Apple's stellar history and symbolise so much – in particular the innovative spirit and unique corporate culture of the trail-blazing US tech company during the 1990s. For many collectors and enthusiasts – perhaps those of an age who can remember what life was like before the digital age – they also represent a potent nostalgic connection to the early days of personal computing, when a smartphone would have seemed like the work of science fiction. To that end, these highly-valued trainers radiate that innocence – a simple 90s design, almost like a tennis shoe, adorned with the iconic rainbow Apple logo on the tongue and lateral quarter.&nbsp; Apple is now a firmly established cultural icon and more than half the world uses its technology products. Only a few can say they have a pair of Apple trainers though.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<p><a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/8-of-our-most-expensive-sneakers-to-buy-now" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span>Available to buy now at Sotheby's online. $50,000 (size 10.5)</span></a></p> 
<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 style="font-size: 30px;">NIKE SB DUNK LOW PARIS BERNARD BUFFET ( Available for $90,000 )</h2> 
<p>If basketball has had a colossal influence on sneakers, how do you measure the impact of skateboarding culture? Safe to say it is similarly mountainous, and Nike’s SB Dunk Low has proven this to be the case. Hugely iconic and massively popular, this range has long fired the imaginations of the passionate skateboarding community, and then transcended it. Highly coveted among collectors – and perhaps with even more allure given the French capital is hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics – these SB Dunk Low Paris Bernard Buffet’s were originally released in 2003 as part of the White Dunk Exhibition, and only around 200 pairs were created, with far fewer in circulation today. The aesthetics pop: a sophisticated Paris colourway and standout canvas overlays are adorned with the artwork of renowned French painter Bernard Buffet (showing off the artistic heritage of Paris). Myriad qualities for the collector and resale market shine through: rarity, cultural significance, and stunning design.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The trainers people choose to wear often command attention as we walk past each other down the road: they exist as an everyday status symbol. In the world of modern collectibles, they now command attention with equal magnitude: they exist as both a powerful status symbol and a supremely canny investment for those that choose to dip their toe – forgive the pun. This is a captivating market, where fashion, culture, creativity and big business collide.<br><br></p> {% module_block module "widget_cdaca97a-a321-4db6-985b-4a2f6754d56a" %}{% module_attribute "child_css" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}{}{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "css" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}{}{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "definition_id" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}null{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "field_group" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}[{"Line_1":"Most Expensive Nike Shoes","link_field":{"no_follow":false,"open_in_new_tab":false,"rel":"","sponsored":false,"url":{"content_id":null,"href":"https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/most-expensive-nike-shoes/","href_with_scheme":"https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/most-expensive-nike-shoes/","type":"EXTERNAL"},"user_generated_content":false}},{"Line_1":"Most Expensive Perfume in The World","link_field":{"no_follow":false,"open_in_new_tab":false,"rel":"","sponsored":false,"url":{"content_id":null,"href":"https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/most-expensive-perfumes-in-the-world/","href_with_scheme":"https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/most-expensive-perfumes-in-the-world/","type":"EXTERNAL"},"user_generated_content":false}},{"Line_1":"What is The Most Expensive Phone in The World?","link_field":{"no_follow":false,"open_in_new_tab":false,"rel":"","sponsored":false,"url":{"content_id":null,"href":"https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/most-expensive-phone-in-the-world/","href_with_scheme":"https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/most-expensive-phone-in-the-world/","type":"EXTERNAL"},"user_generated_content":false}},{"Line_1":"What is The Most Expensive Painting in The World?","link_field":{"no_follow":false,"open_in_new_tab":false,"rel":"","sponsored":false,"url":{"content_id":null,"href":"https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/most-expensive-painting-ever-sold/","href_with_scheme":"https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/most-expensive-painting-ever-sold/","type":"EXTERNAL"},"user_generated_content":false}}]{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "field_types" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}{"Heading":"text","field_group":"group","styles":"group"}{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "label" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}null{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "module_id" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}112029994949{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "path" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"/nx_modules/Modules/AMAL - Internal Link Posts"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "schema_version" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}2{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "smart_objects" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}[]{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "smart_type" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"NOT_SMART"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "tag" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"module"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "type" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"module"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% module_attribute "wrap_field_tag" is_json="true" %}{% raw %}"div"{% endraw %}{% end_module_attribute %}{% end_module_block %}{{ include_custom_fonts({"__BentonSans_2d01b9":["Light","Regular"],"FreightBig":["Regular"]}) }}

Inside a £175 million penthouse: One Hyde Park

Discover the world's most exclusive £175M penthouse at One Hyde Park, offering unrivaled views, luxury amenities, and ultimate privacy in London's Knightsbridge.




<p>&nbsp;</p> 
 
<p><strong><span>One Hyde Park is widely considered to be the most exclusive residence, not just in London, but in the world.</span></strong></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>Majestically on the edge of London’s Royal ‘Hyde Park’, rising above the period townhouses of Knightsbridge and private garden squares, the iconic building of One Hyde Park has gained a global reputation for being the best in the world since its completion in 2009.&nbsp;Now a rare opportunity to own the most incredible <a href="https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/properties/buy/penthouse-for-sale-london-knightsbridge-one-hyde-park-42299/" rel="noopener">duplex penthouse</a> in this coveted building in London’s most exclusive neighbourhood has arisen through United Kingdom’s Sotheby’s International Realty.</span></p>

<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> 
<p><strong><span>Becky Fatemi, Exec Partner, Sotheby’s International Realty comments;</span></strong><span>&nbsp;“One Hyde Park in London is ‘the’ trophy address of a lifetime. To own the penthouse here would be the ‘ultimate’ accolade for any buyer, there is nothing else like this in the entire world and in my mind it is the pinnacle of super prime London in terms of location, quality, views and sublime facilities. The position offers unrivalled views across Hyde Park and beyond, with interiors to the highest specification and superb terraces.”</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>The iconic development of 86 apartments has notoriously beat the cost per square foot records for London, and continued to hold and gain value over time. Even before entering the lobby of the behemoth building its impressiveness is apparent. No detail has been overlooked. The property developers, the Candy brothers of CPC Group, known for creating exceptional luxury residences, are behind the development of One Hyde Park. With their distinctive interior taste and meticulous attention to detail, they created a penthouse unlike any other. One Hyde Park has been separated into four blocks which enables views of the park, and Knightsbridge, but not sideways into the apartments of neighbours.&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>The £175 million penthouse is the jewel in the crown. It has to be seen to be believed and fully appreciated in all its splendour. Unfolding over 18,000 square feet, this haven in the sky demonstrates that a home truly can have it all. Widely renowned for being one of the finest residential real estate assets in London, multiple international publications have labelled this home the most exclusive penthouse in the world.</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>Not only is the home located in Knightsbridge, meaning it has excellent access to some of the city’s best retail, restaurants, and galleries, this duplex apartment has uninterrupted views across Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, and the Serpentine. The spectacle of vistas can be enjoyed from the wrap-around terraces, accessed from the double-heighted, formal reception room which has 8 metre ceilings and serves as the main entertaining space. At the heart of the home is a magnificent glass fireplace, the perfect place to sit back and unwind, while enjoying the best views London has to offer.</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>Residents can drive their cars into a car lift which takes them to a secure underground car park, from where they can access apartments. One of the many features that attracts ultra-high net worth individuals to this development is the unprecedented discretion and privacy that is offered. There is an emphasis throughout the building on the privacy and security of residents: bulletproof glass, panic rooms, and security trained by the British Special Forces demonstrate that no detail has been overlooked in ensuring peace of mind when it comes to safety.&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>The duplex apartment has five en-suite bedrooms, the principal suite alone spans 2,300 square feet (the average apartment in London is 673 square feet) with views overlooking Hyde Park. It also has two bathrooms, each of which has Jacuzzi-style jet pools. All five bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with luxurious marble spa-like features and ample wardrobe space.&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>London’s most exclusive penthouse features much more than you expect, it’s not simply standard living elevated, but a home with so many amenities that you will never want to leave. With its own cocktail bar, home cinema, a private spa which includes a treatment room, sauna and steam room, and gym, this home is more like a five-star hotel than a private apartment. The amenities aren’t just for unwinding and entertaining though. There are also two studies and a meeting room.&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>For residents with live-in staff, there is a separate suite that has its own entrance, and thoughtfully designed back-of-house areas to ensure efficient and discreet service throughout the property. There are also four storage units within the building and four secure underground parking spaces.</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>The duplex apartment is managed by the Mandarin Oriental Group, a brand synonymous with prestige and luxury, and the joy of this penthouse is the services they offer that rival that of a hotel. 24-hour maid services, same day laundry and dry cleaning, and a suite that caters to a seated dinner of 36, or standing canapes for 100.&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span>There is no detail overlooked in London’s most expensive penthouse, the designers, curators, and architects have thoughtfully ensured every need of every resident is met. This world-famous apartment is truly spectacular, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the most fabulous residence in London, available through United Kingdom’s Sotheby’s International Realty now.</span></p>

<p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">Luxury cars first started to appear in the 1900s as society expanded its perspective on transportation options and the demand for more sophisticated solutions grew. Pioneering manufacturers like Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Bentley and Daimler (which later became Mercedes) were amongst the first to display their expert craftsmanship and delivered custom-made vehicles that would provide a comfortable ride for the privileged few who could afford it. The luxury cars of this era were characterised by their attention to detail, with handcrafted interiors that utilised the finest materials such as leather, wood and polished metals. In the 1920s and 1930s, often referred to as the Golden Age of luxury cars, the designs became even more opulent with sumptuous detailing and powerful engines, all commissioned by owners who wanted their automobile to showcase their wealth and stature.</p>

Luxury carmakers in the 21st century have done their best to embrace a more eco-friendly approach and there has been a significant rise in the popularity of hybrid and electric luxury cars from manufacturers like Tesla, Porsche and Audi. These high performing vehicles come with a much greener footprint, which appeals to discerning customers who want to enjoy their luxury treasures with a little less environmental guilt.</span></div>

The post-World War II era saw the rise of iconic luxury cars like the Mercedes-Benz 300SL "Gullwing" and the Jaguar E-Type, which combined elegant design with impressive capabilities. These cars not only exuded luxury but also provided exhilarating driving experiences that appealed to a new generation of automotive enthusiasts.</p>

As the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) continues, the possibilities of what to expect from the luxury cars of the future are endless. The ways in which the luxury car industry has been shaped over the past century are quite remarkable. Its evolution from upmarket horseless carriages to million-dollar assets has been reshaped again and again by technological advancements and consumer preferences.&nbsp; Luxury carmakers are going even further in their quest for exclusivity by offering more bespoke experiences and designs for their clients, from custom painting to hand-stitched interiors and personalised infotainment systems. With their seamless blend of timeless craftsmanship, high-performance engineering and state of the art technology, luxury cars continue to set the standard for automotive excellence.&nbsp; When it comes to the buying, selling and auctions for luxury and vintage cars, RM Sotheby’s has been the industry leader for over 40 years.

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light " style="text-align: center;">Eating well doesn’t have to equal eating badly. The truth is that it is entirely possible to enjoy a delicious diet that is filled with nutrient-rich cuisines. The key is finding the right flavours and incorporating the right balance of ingredients. Ensuring we include ample amounts of fruits, vegetables and lean grains will do wonders for your overall health. When you add the right combination of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as well, this combination can fuel our functionality in body and mind. Good nutrition can also be luxurious, there are so many choices in high-end supermarkets and plenty of restaurants that serve up heart-healthy delicacies that still pack in the wow factor. You might also consider employing the services of private chef who can design menus to suit your individual needs and palette.</p>

  <p class="my-8 text-gray-600 font-benton text-base leading-[30px] font-light ">When we are out of balance, it can have a progressively negative impact on our lives, particularly when we are under a lot of stress. By finding ways to calm our mind and move our bodies in productive ways, we can significantly reduce our stress levels, making us better equipped to face the challenges of the day. You might consider incorporating relaxation techniques into your day, such as working with a yoga instructor or scheduling regular massages or spa days to decompress and recuperate. It is also important to stay in good physical shape, perhaps with a personal trainer at our side or by partaking in fitness classes in an exclusive gym. Movement that enhances your physical health, and that you enjoy, will boost endorphins and nurture your strength and flexibility.</p>

It is all too easy to overlook, especially during busy periods, but making sure to take time out for a refresher could make a world of difference. If you are someone who isn’t thrilled by the concept of drinking your eight glasses a day (yes, apparently that is a thing!), then there are ways to make it more interesting. Arrange for pre-prepared jugs of infused water, strawberry and cucumber is a great mix, but most citrus fruits will also add a much-needed zing.</p>

Now, after the show was only initially on display for two weeks before the world went into lockdown, hordes of crowds are delighted that they can once more see his incredible paintings in London. The exhibition contains Hockney’s work spanning six decades and includes portraits of five sitters including his mother, Harry Styles and the artist himself. The artworks were created in his studio in Normandy and used a range of materials to depict the sitters.</p>

Marilyn Monroe, Elton John, Prince and Lady Gaga are some of the many impressive names who have some of their costumes on display. The exhibition also includes song lyrics and personal items.

Surrounded by mirrors, lights and seemingly endless reflections you are transported into an alternate universe away from London and into a galaxy far away. The exhibition is inspired by Kusama’s visual hallucinations which she has harnessed into a phenomenal work of art. The lights change and pulsate before plunging into darkness which Kusama has curated to give a sense of the incomprehensibility of infinite space.</p>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The origins of Trooping the Colour can be traced back to the early 18th century. The 'colours' refer to the regimental flags of the British Army, which were historically used as rallying points during battle. Trooping these colours in front of the soldiers ensured that every man could recognise his regiment’s flag, thus preventing confusion in the chaos of combat. Over time, this practical exercise evolved into a ceremonial display, becoming a key part of the British monarchy's annual calendar.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The ceremony has been held to mark the sovereign's official birthday since 1748. Traditionally, the British monarch's birthday was celebrated with a military parade. However, in 1748, King George II decided to combine his birthday parade with the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony. Since then, it has been a symbol of the monarchy’s connection to the armed forces.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Polo, also known as ‘the sport of Kings’, is one of the world’s oldest known team sports with origins traced as far back as the 6th Century BC. The sport, which originated in Persia, initially came about as a training game for cavalry before evolving over thousands of years into the sport that is played today. Although it was an Olympic sport, the classification only lasted from 1900 to 1936, so the Cartier’s Queen Cup is today the most significant day in the sport. There are different variants of the game across the globe with elephant polo being played in South Asia, camel polo being played in Mongolia, and Yak polo being played in Mongolia and parts of China, however in old Britannia, it is strictly horseback.</span>
