The First Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Sold For Over $350,000 at Auction

Last month the news that the extremely-sought-after Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 (designed by the late and great Virgil Abloh) would be available exclusively via auction at Sotheby’s broke, sending plenty of sneakerheads into an instant frenzy. While many were bummed at the fact these would be seemingly unattainable, the good news is that the concept of the auction was to raise funds for Virgil’s scholarship fund for black fashion students. Earlier this week the auctions began to draw to a close, with most pairs hitting around the $100,000 mark.

Although the very first pair (Lot 1, in a US5) ended up selling for a considerable amount more. With the highest bid coming in at $352,800, these are easily one of the most expensive pairs of kicks to have sold in recent times, meaning that there’s going to be one hell of an amount going to charity! If you’re still eyeing up this high-end collaboration then you better be coming correct with some deep pockets, as there’s still no news on a wider release!
