\"Adidas<\/a>Are you in the market for a new pair of running shoes?\u00a0 Then these are probably not for you, but they are the coolest sneakers I have ever seen!\u00a0 Sotheby\u2019s held an online auction with just one lot; a collaborative effort that showcased a single pair of Adidas leather sneakers that were enhanced by the porcelain designs of Meissen.<\/p>\n

I am sure everyone is familiar with Adidas, which was founded in 1949 in Germany… but if you are not familiar with Meissen, it was the first European (German) company to make hard-paste (true) porcelain; Meissen has been producing porcelain since 1709.\u00a0 Both Adidas and Meissen continue to be leading manufacturers and innovators in their fields \u2013 these sneakers are proof that Meissen’s designs are not just for tableware.<\/p>\n

The sneakers are from Adidas\u2019 A-ZX collection, which ranges in price from $100-160.\u00a0 Meissen\u2019s contribution includes hand-painted leather and porcelain overlays on the tongue and heel. Inspired by the Meissen Krater Vase, which was designed by Ernst August Leuteritz in 1856, the sneakers feature fifteen of the vase\u2019s one hundred and thirty different patterns. It took six months to create the pair that weigh just over 2 pounds\u2026if you could wear them you would not need ankle weights to exercise.<\/p>\n

The one-of-a-kind pair had a very broad estimate of $1 \u2013 1,000,000\u2026yes, you read that right, I guess no one really knew what they were worth.\u00a0 Well, when the online bidding finally closed the sneakers sold for $132,000\u2026 I am surprised that they didn\u2019t sell for more!<\/p>\n

What is really great about this sale is that 100% of the hammer price is going to the Brooklyn Museum to support arts education in New York.<\/p>\n

And Adidas recently did sell a limited edition of the sneakers available through their Creator\u2019s Club – I did register, but sadly did not get a pair\u2026they were priced at $160.\u00a0 If you are still interested in buying a pair, I saw that there are a few pairs available on eBay, ranging in price from $200 \u2013 418; I am just not sure if they are legit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
