Did you know . . . ?
Sotheby’s auction house shattered the sales records for a pair of sneakers on April 11, 2023, when the Air Jordan XIII OG “Bred” [Black and Red], which were worn and signed by Michael Jordan, sold at $2,200,000.
Pairs of Nike Jordans were used to create Batman’s boots in at least two of the superhero films: Nike Air Trainer IIs were worn in Batman (1989), and Air Jordan VIs in Batman Returns (1992).
Sneaker Politics teamed up with Saucony and New Orleans institution Café du Monde on a sneaker design inspired by the café's famous beignets. The shoes were even sold in a special box that looks like the café’s beignet boxes, complete with cooking instructions on the back.
