\"Kanye<\/a>Kayne West breaks a record, and this one was not vinyl. Kayne West is best known as an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer, but he also has a love of fashion and has had his hand at designing. For years there were rumors that Kanye and Nike were collaborating, and in 2008 there was finally proof; Kayne wore the prototype of the Nike Air Yeezy to the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

Kanye, greatly influenced by early Air Jordan sneakers, added a wide strap over the laces, which would become the signature feature of his Nike Air Yeezy design. In 2009, Nike released the initial limited production of the sneaker to retailers; the prices escalated quickly. The relationship did not last long with Nike, and in 2015, Kanye jumped ship and sailed over to Adidas.<\/p>\n

The prototype sneakers were recently offered privately by Sotheby’s in New York. The ‘investing” platform, RARES, purchased the sneakers and is now offering ‘investors’ the chance to buy a fractional share of the sneakers \u2013 and with the price of these one-of-a-kind sneakers, that’s all most can afford. The sneakers sold for $1.8M, breaking the record for the most expensive public sale of sneakers; the previous record was $615K for a pair of 1985 Air Jordan 1s sold in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
