AJ1 Prototype Among Rare Pairs in Heritage Auctions’ ‘Sneakers Signature’
are running red-hot right now, as Heritage Auctions are the latest entity to list some seriously rare pairs in their upcoming ‘Sneakers Signature’ collection. The 100-plus-pair selection mostly features some of very best, but there are about 20 exemplars from other brands.
The cream of the Nike crop is undoubtedly a prototype pair of the ‘Chicago’ from 1985 that includes a letter written and signed by its designer, Peter Moore. HA’s opening bid on this truly ‘lost and found’ item is $200,000 – those with shallower pockets can instead try for a pair of deadstock retail OGs that start at $7000.
Other Swoosh-adorned notables include F&F pairs of the x Nike , bespoke Air Force 1 Mids in Lakers colours and the ‘Paris’. On the SB Dunk front, there’s also a sample pair of the mythical which was infamously scrapped due to licensing issues.
Proxy bidding on the lots is open right now, with a live auction going down on December 13 at HA’s Dallas, Texas, location.
