The auction for Nike’s first Louis Vuitton Air Force 1s has closed with the highest-selling pair fetching an eye-whopping $352,800.
Designed by the late Virgil Abloh, the lone size 5 pair of the super-rare sneakers set the high mark among the 200 pairs auctioned by Sotheby’s — and it came in well ahead of the second most expensive, a size 9.5 that sold for $201,600. More than 150 of the pairs available sold for $100,000 or more, possibly establishing a new landscape for sneakers in the auction market.
