What are the elements that make a sneaker really valuable? According to the expert Mathieu Le Maux, author of the book 1000 Sneakers: A Guide to the World's Greatest Kicks, they are its rarity, the condition, the prestige of the designers at that time, and the quality of the material used to create it.
Based on these elements, Farfetch, a leading luxury and sneakers online retailer, has established a ranking of the 10 most valuable sneakers in the world. The Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Jasper, in particular in the grey and pink patchwork version, takes the first place with a value of $30,000, followed by the Nike Air Mag designed by Tinker Hatfield and first appeared on the big screen worn by Marty McFly (Michael J.

Among all the sportswear giants Nike, with 6 different models, takes the lead of this chart, that includes in its offer the most coveted sneakers.
