KICKS COINING IT IN
American rap artist Kanye West’s Nike Air Yeezy sample trainers have just sold for a staggering £1.2 million in a private sale confirmed by Sotheby’s auction house. Not just celebrity trainers coining it in either, mind. They are now as collectible as art. Limited-edition, old-school collaborations are snapped up by collectors, framed in Perspex boxes and hung on walls. It’s not unusual for an old pair of Nikes to go for £9k with footballers being avid fans. Being in box-fresh condition helps evidently. So another reason not to use them for going for that jog, then.
