13431277, Sneaker Thoughts: Worn Nike Air Yeezy Sneakers Sell for a Record $1.8M

Thoughts on these yeezys selling for 1.8 million?

https://www.nme.com/news/music/kanye-wests-yeezy-shoe-prototypes-valued-at-over-1-million-set-to-go-up-for-sale-2918874

What’s crazy is, I know a dude that used to own this pair and everyone thought he was crazy when he was charging 75k.

I’ve been buying sneakers almost 20 years now and right now the hype is something I’ve never seen before. People paying STUPID money for sneakers now.
13431279, They were worn by Kanye at some awards show right?

I mean, it's still a stupid price but it's not just any normal worn Yeezy's. Can't be any dumber than NFTs.

Yeah, they were worn at the Grammys. The 1.8m is crazy bc the buyer is now selling off stock on the shoe so people can be a partial owner. Shits getting weird.
13431390, Huh? The shoes a corporation? Is it on the stock market?

lol I'm not expecting you to have any answers, that is messy and confusing.

Yeezy's as a cryptocurrency might be better for the planet.

Damn this is getting weird, people acting like it's a pair of sandels worn by Jesus or Moses, the obsession people have in conyay mess is beyond terrible it's down right disturbing as fuck, smh.


13431281, a pair of game-worn, Jordan 1s...

went for 615k and I thought that was nuts. 1.8 mil??? Damn.
13431282, I saw that too. It’s a new trend for high end auctions on rare pairs.

There’s a dude that sold about a half million of PEs and samples through a high end auction house.
