The most expensive sneakers purchase ever

The first Nike Air Mag was purchased at a charity event to raise funds for the Michael J Fox Foundation in 2011 for a whopping price of US$37,500 by English rapper Tinie Tempah and reached a price of US$90,002. These sneakers feature an electroluminescent out-sole, space age materials, and a rechargeable internal battery good for 3,000 hours and are the first rechargeable pair of footwear by Nike and was first featured in the film Back to the Future starring Michael J Fox in 1989. Where’s Santa when you need him???
