Did you know . . . ?

Sotheby’s auction house shattered the sales records for a pair of sneakers on April 11, 2023, when the Air Jordan XIII OG “Bred” [Black and Red], which were worn and signed by Michael Jordan, sold at $2,200,000.

Pairs of Nike Jordans were used to create Batman’s boots in at least two of the superhero films: Nike Air Trainer IIs were worn in Batman (1989), and Air Jordan VIs in Batman Returns (1992).

Sneaker Politics teamed up with Saucony and New Orleans institution Caf� du Monde on a sneaker design inspired by the caf�'s famous beignets. The shoes were even sold in a special box that looks like the caf�’s beignet boxes, complete with cooking instructions on the back.
