So many of those are remarkable but absolutely useless to society in any way. An 8000 lb teddy bear? A long @ss feather boa? ha ha. Cool, but hopefully all that material can be repurposed so it is not humungously wasteful.
A pair of 1972 Nike Moon Shoes were sold at a Sotheby's auction for $437,000 — breaking the record for the most expensive sneakers sold at auction.
In July 2019, a pair of 1972 Nike Moon Shoes were sold at a Sotheby's auction for $427,000, breaking the world record for the most expensive pair of sneakers sold at auction.
The shoes went to Miles Nadal, a Canadian collector and businessman.
Originally made for runners training for the 1972 Olympics, only 12 Moon Shoes were ever created, according to Guinness World Records. The sneakers sold at auction in July are one of the few known pairs left to exist, according to the record announcement.
