5 sneakers so rare you may never see them, from Adidas and Nike collabs with Kanye West, Eminem and – wait – Marty McFly?
Can you remember which sneakers Marty McFly wore when he travelled forward in time to 2015 in the Back to the Future II movie?
The sneaker is average no more, over the past few years their popularity has skyrocketed. They are no longer just sold by Nike and Adidas, but by luxury brands from Louis Vuitton to Zegna, and everyone in between has their “ultra cool” sneaker. While these US$700 sneakers are not uncommon, there are a few sneakers that you will never see. These are the rarest sneakers in the world, according to Amy Dunford.
5. Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Zebra
The Adidas/Kanye West collaboration has already produced several sneaker collections. The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 is not rare – however, the “Zebra” colourway is a special edition, and only produced in limited numbers. Only a few Adidas stores around the world stock them, whereas previous colourways were released in third-party stores as well.
4. Nike Air Yeezy 2 Solar Red
Kanye West collaborated with Nike to create two Nike Yeezy collections, before the agreement fell through. This resulted in the Air Yeezy and Air Yeezy 2. They released only 5,000 pairs of Air Yeezy 2s, available in “Solar Red” and “Pure Platinum”. West’s subsequent move to Adidas means Nike Air Yeezys are coveted today.
