$4000 Nikes!

by Ed Lau on November 29, 2006


Apparently this pair of Nike Dunk Low Pro SB Unkles come for the extremely reasonable price of $4000 as there are only five pairs of them in existance, putting them among the rarest and most expensive shoes around. The rumor is that they were made specifically for Unkle artist James Lavelle. They certainly look great and there’s no doubt that you’ll never find another person with them if you have a pair.

That’s almost as expensive as the $5,000 PS3 Nike shoe!

This reminds me of an episode of Entourage. Didn’t Turtle want to get a pair designed by Lavelle?

Actually, the shoes in that episode of Entourage were designed by the fictional graffiti artist “Fukijama” (played by the actor that played Roofio in “Hook”) and are an actual pair of shoes. The show’s producers had them designed and they were actually made in a very, very small batch. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were only two or three of the blue ones and one of the custom “Turtle” shoes.

They were given away as a prize when the producers held a contest for the extras on the show that day, many of which are actual sneakerheads in LA. They posted on Hypebeast, NikeSB.org etc asking for people to line up outside UNDFTD and a couple people got a pair. You can check out the art on the shoes at http://www.fukijama.com/.
