Sotheby's is auctioning off some of the rarest sneakers ever made, and some could go for more than $100,000
These automatically lacing shoes are based on the pair worn by Marty McFly in the 1989 film "Back To the Future Part II."
Only five pairs of this Air Jordan 11 model were ever created.
They were made in 2017 in honor of baseball legend Derek Jeter, to commemorate his retirement from the New York Yankees. The bidding started at $30,000, and Sotheby's estimates the hammer will fall between $40,000 and $60,000.
The most expensive sneaker up for auction is the Nike "Moon Shoe."
Only 12 pairs were made of these shoes, and few of those are still around today. Handmade and designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, it was famously made with a waffle sole pattern to allow for a better grip and cushion on the field.
The bidding started at $80,000, and it's estimated to get as high as $160,000.
This purple suede design was produced in a limited run for select acquaintances of rapper Travis Scott.
These rare Air Jordans are available for bidding in four different colors, and each started at $35,000.
These rare Adidas sneakers were born out of a collaboration between rapper Pharrell Williams and Chanel and were sold in a Paris pop-up in limited quantities.
This pair starts at $7,500, but they have the potential to sell for more than $10,000.
This pair of Adidas sneakers was also a result of the collaboration between Pharrell Williams and Chanel.
But this unique pair — which replaces the word "Chanel" with "Karl" on top of the right shoe — was originally a gift to Karl Lagerfeld and is likely the only one of its kind.
Obviously, this pair will go for a lot, with the potential to sell for $50,000 or more.
These sneakers from Kanye West's Yeezy collection are one of the more talked-about listings in the auction.
This design earned the name "Oreo" because of its resemblance to the famous sandwich cookie. The shoe was released in 2016 in limited quantities.
They'll go for between $13,000 and $18,000, and 15 pairs are available.
These Air Jordans were part of a special release in 2011 for the Tokyo 23 basketball tournament in Japan.
They were released in limited quantities only in Japan.
The starting bid is $4,800 and they are expected to sell for over $5,500.
One of the most coveted silhouettes of the Kanye West and Nike collaboration is the Nike Air Yeezy 2 NRG Pure Platinum.
The edition was sold in limited quantities in 2012 and is famous for being the final Air Yeezy sneaker.
Sotheby's is auctioning it as part of a lot with three other Nike Air Yeezy sneakers, and they're expected to go for over $22,000.
