“#First Yeezy sneakers ever worn by Kanye West sell for record $1.8M<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

You may be hot to trot, but do your kicks have a high price to match?<\/p>\n

The first Yeezy sneakers that Kanye West wore have traded hands, and feet, for a whopping $1.8 million in a Sotheby\u2019s private sale, reports CNN<\/a>. That makes these Nike Air Yeezy 1 prototypes, which were expected to sell for $1 million, the most expensive sneakers ever.<\/p>\n

A seemingly simple-looking pair of black high-tops with a small swoosh, these size 12 sneaks premiered at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in 2008 on West\u2019s own two feet \u2014 the first time he had ever worn Yeezys, now under the Adidas label, in public. The style never hit shelves for sale.<\/p>\n

Rares \u2014 an investing platform that lets users buy and trade shares in limited-edition kicks \u2014 snagged the pair. Rares CEO and co-founder Gerome Sapp<\/a> said in a release that owning these shoes is like owning \u201ca piece of history.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Sotheby\u2019s head of streetwear and modern collectibles Brahm Wachter said this sale \u201cspeaks volumes of Kanye\u2019s legacy as one of the most influential clothing and sneaker designers of our time.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
