Guess Which Pair of These Nike’s Cost $200,000? Check Out Sotheby’s Rare Sneaker Sale

By Trey Speegle on December 6, 2020 11:21 am

Nike Moon Shoe, 1972, price: $200,000 USD

If you guessed these beat-up, dirty sneaks, then you were right…

The description on the Sotheby’s Sneakers sale listing reads,

“The Nike “Moon Shoe” is one of the most significant artifacts in the history of the multi-billion dollar athletic brand. One of a small group of pairs known to exist, this Moon Shoe is a handmade running shoe designed by Nike co-founder and legendary University of Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman. As the famous story goes, Bowerman was first inspired to create the innovative waffle sole traction pattern found on the brand’s early running shoes by tinkering with his wife’s waffle iron, pouring rubber into the mold to create the first prototype of the sole. The finished design of the traction pattern created better grip and cushion than most running shoes of the time, and the waffle sole was Nike’s first major innovation as a brand. The “Moon Shoe” got its name from the resemblance between the impression that the waffle pattern left in dirt and the famous tracks left on the moon by astronauts in 1969.”

But those aren’t the most expensive sneakers ever sold, by a long shot.

Michael Jordan’s Game Worn Autographed Nike Air Jordan 1s from 1985 sold for $560,000 – a new world auction record for any pair of sneakers, surpassing the previous record set at Sotheby’s for the Nike 1972 Nike Waffle Racing Flat ‘Moon Shoe’ sold for $437,500 in July 2019.

Right now there’s another pair of Air Jordan’s up for auction and the estimate is $600,00-800,000, with the current bid at $480,000.

These could end up being the most expensive… until the next auction.
