While many would be horrified at spending half a million pounds on a pair of trainers [1], true sneakerheads wouldn't bat an eye. Premier trainer reseller StockX released their top 10 most expensive trainers in the world. Taking the top spot? Nike MAG Back to the Future (2016) kicks in pristine condition, selling for a cool £538,926 in a UK Size 8.5.
Nike MAG Back to the Future trainers were released as a limited number of 89 pairs in 2016. The Back to the Future design was made popular after being worn by fictional character Marty McFly in the classic sci-fi film Back to the Future Part II (1989).
If you're lucky enough to have one of the 89 pairs of Back to the Future trainers released in 2016, you can currently sell them for an impressive £24,000. If you're looking to buy one of the coveted, limited release kicks, you would have to spend a little over half a million pounds to secure a pair of your own. Each size is priced differently, with the shoes going for £538,926 in a UK 8.5 [2] — £77,750 in a 6.5, £50,982 in a 12.5, and £34,988 in a 10.5.
