A collection of 200 pairs of Nike "Air Force 1" sneakers, created in collaboration with Louis Vuitton, was sold at Sotheby's for a total of $25.5 million, according to WWD.

The final amount received for the collection exceeded the initial amount by eight times - 200 pairs were estimated at a total of $ 3 million.

The auction items, which were held online, aroused the interest of buyers from all over the world: it is noted that about 40% of those who purchased sneakers live in Asia.

The most expensive was the fifth size Nike "Air Force 1" sneaker - they went for $352,800 from the original price of $15,000.

All proceeds from the auction will go to the Post-Modern Scholarship Fund, founded in memory of fashion designer Virgil Abloh, who passed away last year and was Louis Vuitton's menswear creative director in recent years. The aim of the foundation was to provide support in the field of education for talented and promising students of African descent.
