$60,000 Basketball Sneakers

A Pair of Signed Air Jordan Silver Shoes are for Auction

— April 25, 2013 — Lifestyle
A unique pair of basketball sneakers are up for auction on eBay for a whopping $60,000. These signed 'Air Jordan Silvers' are vintage, extremely rare and most certainly pricy, but will surely appeal to several hardcore collectors around the word. Basketball sneakers like these don't come around very often, especially when they have been signed by Michael Jordan himself.

Air Jordans have been popular for decades now, and they are still in production and readily available to this very day. It is a much different story however, if you are interested in purchasing a pair of mint condition vintage Jordans. Depending on the year, edition and in this case if they have been signed or worn by the famous star, these vintage kicks can run you anywhere from $300 to $60,000.
Trend Themes
1. Vintage Basketball Sneaker Collecting - The demand for rare and signed vintage basketball sneakers presents an opportunity for collectors to invest in valuable and exclusive footwear.
2. Celebrity Signature Sneakers - The market for basketball sneakers signed by famous athletes like Michael Jordan continues to grow, providing an opportunity for brands to collaborate with celebrities for limited-edition releases.
3. High-end Sneaker Auctions - The rise of high-end sneaker auctions, like the eBay listing for a pair of $60,000 Air Jordan Silvers, illustrates the potential for luxury and exclusive sneaker sales in the collector market.
Industry Implications
1. Collectibles - The collectibles industry can tap into the niche market of vintage basketball sneaker collectors by offering authenticated and rare footwear options.
2. Athletic Footwear - Athletic footwear brands can capitalize on the demand for celebrity signature sneakers by collaborating with famous athletes and creating limited-edition, high-value releases.
3. Online Auctions - The online auction industry can leverage the popularity of high-end sneaker auctions by providing a platform for collectors to buy and sell rare and valuable basketball sneakers.
