The 10 rarest Nike shoes of all time
The official definition of a sneakerhead is someone who collects and trades sneakers for fun, but a true sneakerhead will tell you it goes much deeper than that. If you’re really into it, it’s more of a lifestyle than a hobby. Not only are you a collector, you’re a discerner, a historian, a fashion-forward individual and a connoisseur of the finer things in life. Let’s take a look at the rarest Nike shoes of all time.
Like the stock market, the value of shoes can fluctuate wildly. Obviously, rarity is what makes something popular but trends can also dictate the market. There are a couple things that are popular in Nikes in the last couple years. For example, retro and throwback styles are pretty popular due to ’90s and 2000s kids love of nostalgia. Collabs with rappers and basketball players are also high sellers; Eminem has one of the rarest Nikes of all time — with only 50 made in total.
There’s a big customization movement too. Nike in particular has an interface called Nike By You (NBY) where you can customize certain aspects of the shoe like the sole, tongue and outsole. While it’s not a “build from the ground up” situation, it still does give the buyer a bit more control over the process than normal. Finally we have style trends. Chunky shoes like the Nike Air Max series and High-Top styles like the Air Force 1 High are also very popular. This will of course change as styles and preferences change, but one thing won’t: rare shoes will always be coveted by collectors.
As for the sneakerhead lifestyle, some collectors won’t even wear their shoes and are content to just have them on display like a nice piece of art. Hell, to some people a good pair of sneakers is art, and to be honest Nike knows this. Nike, by the way, is the world’s largest supplier of athletic shoes. It was started in 164 as a company called “Blue Ribbon Sports.” What started originally as a company that distributes Japanese Onitsuka Tiger shoes to America, and has grown into a multi billion dollar enterprise that employs almost 77k people around the globe. This is a company that knows value.
Nike Air Jordan 1 “Black/Red” (Banned)

These bad boys date back all the way to 1984. The story goes like this: Then NBA commissioner David Stern noticed Michael Jordan wearing the storied shoes and immediately banned them. The reason? Per Air Jordan logo designer Peter Moore, Stern “banned the red and black because he proclaimed that the red and black were not the color of the Bulls — the shoes didn’t meet the uniform standard.”
Price: $180 – $700
Nike Mag (Back to the Future Edition)

There are a few versions of this one, and the older the shoe the more prohibitively expensive they get. The first run in 2011 produced 1,500 pairs, which were auctioned off on eBay. Nike improved on the shoe for a 2016 run but released even less of them, with people forced to enter a lottery to get them. In 2019 they released a version to the general public with a semi-reasonable price tag of $350.
Price: $15,000 – $50,000 (for the rare ones)
Nike Air Yeezy 1 “Grammy Prototype”

It doesn’t get more rare than these. These prototypes were the same pair Kanye West wore to the Grammys in 2008. West designed the shoes with the creative director of Nike, Mark Smith. They’re size 12 with a “tonal” swoosh, leather top and West’s signature Y medallion. They sold for more than $1 million and were the first sneaker ever to do so.
Price: $1.8 million
Nike Dunk Low Pro SB “Paris”

These shoes came out in 2002 and Nike only made 202 of them. Every pair has panels cut from artist Bernard Buffet’s printed artwork. This means every single pair of them is different. They were made for a travelling exhibition and were going to be raffled off but things got too rowdy in the line. As an alternative, they were released at special retailers in Paris and people waited for days to get a pair.
Price: $10,000 and up
Nike Dunk SB “Freddy Krueger”

Known colloquially as the “greatest sneaker that never was,” Nike wanted to celebrate Halloween in 2007 with some horror themed sneakers. There were three movies used as inspiration: Dawn of the Dead, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. The Krueger was pulled at the last minute due to a cease-and-desist letter from New Line Cinema. Legend has it that a very small number of them were smuggled out of the factory and are in circulation.
Price: $50k – several million
Nike SB Dunk High “What the Dunk”

One of the more eclectic shoes out there, “What the Dunks” are created from 31 different Nike SB Dunks. SB, by the way, stands for skateboarding, and Nike made the shoes as part of a promotional campaign for the company’s skate movie Nothing But The Truth. It’s the ultimate dunk and the high top colorway is highly sought after. There are newer versions that are more affordable but the 2007 versions are super rare.
Price: $4,500 and up
Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘ENCORE’
There are supposedly on 50 of these in circulation, as they were given to Eminem to give friends and family. It’s a natural blue suede with black, grey and red accents. The tongue and heel tab also say ENCORE and Eminem. These incredibly rare shoes are so hard to get that even DJ Khaled had to wait years to get them.
Price: $55,000 and up
Air Jordan 11 “Derek Jeter” PE

There are rumored to be only five of these available. Nike made them to celebrate Derek Jeter’s retirement in 2014. They were available through a scratch-off lottery system at a pop up shop near Yankee stadium. One pair went for sale for $40,000 once, but the price is probably much higher now. They are blue suede and feature Jeter’s number “2” on the back.
Price: $40,000 and up
Nike SB Dunk Low “Heineken”
Photo via Reddit
These skater shoes were released in March 2003 and obviously inspired by the colors of the Heineken brand. It has a white leather base with an embroidered red star and a black swoosh. Interestingly, this was not an official collaboration with the beer company. Consequently, Heineken asked Nike to stop making them so there aren’t a ton of them around.
Price: $4,000 and up
Air Jordan 3 Interscope Records

These were released in 2018 as a collaboration between the Air Jordan 3 and Interscope Records. It’s the first collaboration of its type, and it was made specifically to celebrate that year’s NBA All-Star Weekend. It features the Interscope logo on the heel and also the name on the laces.
Price: $4,800 and up

Aditi Rao Hydari Opens Up on Heeramandi Viral Walk

Aditi Rao Hydari has recently captured the internet’s attention with her mesmerizing ‘gajagamini walk’ from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series, Heeramandi. The actor’s graceful performance in the song ‘Saiyaan Hatto Jaao’ has received widespread acclaim, prompting her to express gratitude towards her fans for their love and praise.
How did Aditi Rao Hydari create her viral walk in Heeramandi?
Aditi Rao Hydari recently shared how she feels deeply moved by the positive response to her performance. In a recent interview, she shared her feelings about the unexpected yet heartwarming reaction from the audience. “I am thanking everybody. That walk, just that little tukda from thumri, it is all over the internet. I really didn’t expect that and Sanjay sir did say, ‘Ye chaal bahut important hai (This walk is very important),’” Aditi said. She further reflected on the effort and dedication that went into perfecting the walk, which has now become iconic.
The Heeramandi actor provided a glimpse into the meticulous process behind the creation of the song, highlighting Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s deep involvement in every detail. The dance choreographer was Kruti Mahesh. Despite this, Bhansali engrossed himself in every aspect of the song’s choreography.
“Kruti Mahesh was there choreographing, but he was completely involved in every detail of the choreography. He was very particular about this walk and how it should happen. How will the dupatta fall, how will the waist move. Exactly when the ‘chan’ sound will be heard… it was quite incredible,” Aditi elaborated. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Bhansali’s work, ensuring that every movement, gesture, and nuance contributes to the overall impact of the scene.
For those unaware, Netflix recently released much-awaited, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on May 1, 2024. Since then, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s OTT debut has garnered widespread acclaim for its grandeur, stellar performances, and storyline. It is currently available to stream on Netflix.

‘X-Men ’97’ season finale ending and post-credits scene, explained
Warning: This article contains full spoilers for X-Men ’97 episode 10.
There goes, X-Men ’97 season 1 — easily one of the finest stories Marvel Studios has ever told. Rarely has the studio behind the MCU delivered something both so authentic to its source material and celebratory of these characters and the universe they inhabit.
The bad news? This run of 10 terrific episodes, uncanny in how astonishing they were (see what I did there?), has now come to a close. The good news? This definitely isn’t the end of the road as a second season is on the way. As promised by the finale’s open-ended conclusion and, of course, a post-credits scene teasing what’s coming next.
So what happens in the last scenes of X-Men ’97‘s finale and what does it all mean?
Where are the X-Men?
Screenshot via Marvel Animation/Disney Plus
“Tolerance is Extinction, Part 3” picks up right where we left off, with the X-Men trying to stop Magneto and Bastion’s competing plans to end life on Earth.
After the X-Men succeed in destroying Bastion’s Asteroid M, before it collides with the planet, the team are missing and presumed dead in the explosion. Forge searches for months for any trace of them — specifically, Storm — but to no avail. Finally, Bishop visits him and reveals the truth: someone, or something, saved the X-Men by flinging them somewhere (or somewhen) else in time. Bishop recruits Forge to help track the time-displaced X-Men down.
In 3000 BC Egypt, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Beast, Magneto, and Professor X fight off some ancient Egyptian guards and are aided by a mysterious masked figure. Once they fight is over, the gang thank the stranger and ask his name. “My name is En Sabah Nur,” he responds. That’s right, the X-Men have stumbled upon the younger version of their nemesis, Apocalypse!
Meanwhile, Jean Grey and Cyclops have been sent into the far-future, finding themselves in a barren wasteland in the year 3960 AD. They are approached by an elder wise woman who calls herself Mother Askani, leader of the Clan Askani. A boy then emerges from the Clan Askani’s tent and warns the rest that these two newcomers do not mean them harm. The young boy is extremely familiar-looking, what with his distinctive red hair. His name is Nathan — aka a young Cable, Scott and Jean/Madelyne’s son!
Is Apocalypse the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2?
Screenshot via Marvel Animation/Disney Plus
In true Marvel Studios style, the X-Men ’97 finale then concludes with a post-credits scene. The action returns to the ruins of Genosha in the present-day, where a shadowy figure stalks through the devastation caused by Bastion back in episode 5.
“So much pain, my children,” the figure booms, before retrieving a Queen of Hearts card from the rubble. “So much death…” As a shot of those distinctive blue lips makes clear, this is the grown-up Apocalypse, who seems all set to be the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2. Even if we didn’t know we were getting one already, the “TO BE CONTINUED…” card at the episode’s end confirms it.
All things considered, it looks like we’re in for a deep-dive into Apocalypse’s character next time around, as the X-Men get to know his origins in the past while he cooks up some evil scheme in the present. The card he finds is clearly Gambit’s, so it’s very likely he’ll resurrect Remy and turn him into one of his Four Horsemen. Gambit alive again? Yay! Gambit turned evil? No way!
With any luck, X-Men ’97 season 2 will release sometime in 2025. For the meantime, all 10 episodes of season 1 can be streamed on Disney Plus.
