A pair of Nike shoes worn by rapper Kanye West during his performances of “Hey Mama” and “Stronger” at the Grammy Awards in 2008 has been sold at $1.8 million breaking all records.
Sotheby’s, an international firm that provides luxurious listings, announced on Monday that the “Grammy Worn” Nike Air Yeezy 1 fetched $1.8 million in a private sale. The pair has been acquired by RARES, a sneaker investment marketplace.
Apparently, this is the highest price recorded for a sneaker sale. It is also the first pair of sneakers to top $1 million.
“We are thrilled with the result, which has nearly tripled the highest price on record,” Brahm Wachter, Sotheby’s head of streetwear and modern collectables, said in a statement.
