The online shoe retailer Stockx specializes in rare sneakers. They have a system called “lowest ask,” which arranges shoes by the lowest amount a seller is currently willing to sell them for. This is a better gauge of the current price of certain shoes than the average sale price since the average is calculated over years, as supply and demand shift over time.
In this list, we wanted to tell your which are the most expensive shoes on Stockx that you can buy right now, for the prices they are currently going for.
Here are the 9 current champions in high-priced sneaker collecting.
8. Nike Dunk SB Low Freddy Krueger
Highest ask: $49,999
Last sale price: $3,400
Avg sale: $30,000
Color: TAUPE/CHROME
photo source: StockX
The Nike Dunk SB Low Freddy Krueger shoes or “Freddy Krueger Dunks” are some of the most famous Dunks out there. The colorway is officially listed as “TAUPE/CHROME,” but of course, the palette is based on the outfit of the famous slasher villain from A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The shoes feature not only the stripes of his famous sweater but also blood splatter, potentially from his latest victims.
The shoes currently listed have a price of $49,999 on Stockx, though they normally sell for around $30,000. Somehow, the last pair that sold went for $3,400, which is very low for these shoes.
Did you know?
There were two other horror-inspired Dunks made around the same time, with one being based on Friday the 13th and the other on the 1978 poster for Dawn of the Dead, directed by George Romero. However, while those shoes had a wide release, the Freddy Krueger Dunks never made it to store shelves, which has had a huge impact on their rarity and resale value.
7. Jordan 1 OG Bred
Highest ask: $120,000
Last sale price: $16,931
Avg sale: $23,466
Color: Black and red

The Jordan 1 OG Bred shoes, released in 1985, are famous game-ready shoes that originally sold off the shelves for $65.
On Stockx, they currently have a low ask of $50,000 and a high ask of $120,000, though the last successful sale price was only $16,931. This indicates a low supply driving up the current prices. Only time will tell if the average sale price rises to match the new demand or if the asking price eventually comes down.
Like some of the other Jordans on this list, these shoes were designed by Peter Moore for Michael Jordan following his contract with the Nike brand. The “Bred” colorway is particularly famous for Jordan’s insistence on wearing them even after the NBA excluded them from their uniform rules.

Jordan’s rule-breaking swagger with these shoes led the color to become nicknamed the “Banned” colorway. There’s arguably no Jordan look more famous than these red and black icons.
6. Jordan 1 OG (Natural Grey)
Highest ask: $84,363
Last sale price: N/a
Avg sale: N/a
Color: WHITE/NATURAL GREY

The high-top shoes known as the Jordan 1 OGs (Natural Grey) retailed for only $65. Today, they are ultra-valuable pieces, with the only example on Stockx having an asking price of $84,363.
However, it’s unknown how much people are actually willing to pay for these shoes since none have sold yet.
These shoes were initially designed by Peter Moore. Michael Jordan wore them in ’84-’85 and switched to a modified Air Jordan in 1986 after breaking his foot.

Avg sale: $3,500
Color: HARBOR BLUE/SPORT ROYAL-SOFT GREY

The Nike Air Force 1 Low shoes, specifically the Futura Stash editions, sell for an average of $3,500 on Stockx. However, low supply has consistently raised the asking prices of these shoes. At the moment, you’d have to shell out $87,690 minimum to snag a pair of these blue Air Force 1s.
These shoes were created in 2005 but never released in this colorway. The shoes have STASH embroidered on the left and “wildstyle” lasered into the back heel with a Futura graphic.

Bruce Kilgore designed the low-top sports shoe known as the Nike Air Force 1 back in 1982. Despite being his first basketball shoe, the shoe immediately took off as the gold standard in low-top court shoes.

The Nike Dunk High Pro SB FLOMs were designed by Futura 2000. They frequently sell for over $56,000 on Stockx, with a current low ask of $94,399 and a high ask of $277,502, which is one of the most expensive pairs of shoes on the site.
The “FLOM” dunks were only released with a total of 25 pairs in 2005, which puts them in extremely high demand. Three were sold at raffles and the others were gifted to the designers’ families. “FLOM” stands for “For Love of Money.”

The Nike Dunk SB Low shoes were sold in an insanely limited edition to begin with — only 150-200 pairs were ever made. They debuted in 2002 at the traveling shoe exhibition called “White Dunk,” showing off Bernard Buffet’s art style.
At major retailers like Proxyeed in London, a pair of these multi-colored graphic art shoes have sold for $133,000. On Stockx, they are currently available in a low ask for $100,000, size 8.5. However, a seller with a size US M 8 pair has them listed at $256,834. On average, these shoes sell on the site for $62,000.

The Back to the Future Nike MAGs were released in 2016. There’s only one left on sale on Stockx, so the seller can ask basically whatever they want. In this case, they’re on sale for $120,000 with an average sale of $70,962, which is the highest on the whole site.
The last sale of these shoes was for $56,500. Only 1,500 pairs of these shoes were initially made, and they were all originally sold on eBay for charity. Any pairs that pop up on the aftermarket now are highly sought after.

These Nikes are of course in the style of the future shoes in Back to the Future II, hence the glowing blue hoverboard heels. A pair of these shoes sold at a Sotheby’s auction for $50,000, signed by Michael J. Fox. Today, however, any pair of these shoes will sell for that much and more.
Audiences expected Nike to release these high-top shoes to the general public for years after the film to no avail, leading to them garnering the nickname of the “the greatest shoe never made.”
1. Nike x CLOT Air Force 1 Supreme
Highest ask: $1,000,000
Last sale price: $9,392
Avg sale: $7,696
Color: SPORT RED/BLACK
photo source: StockX
The most expensive shoes on Stockx are the Nike x CLOT Air Force 1 Supreme. They’re a showcase for the silk fabric known as Red Royale and come in a special hexagonal red box. Beneath the fabric, the shoes hide genuine dark leather.
The shoes debuted in the box known as the “candy box” in 2009 at JUICE in Hong Kong and ACU in Shanghai. They originally came with multiple lace options (yellow, red, or black). They were released at 21 Mercer outside of those events, but those didn’t come with the ultra-valuable box, patterned with traditional Chinese-inspired designs.
The shoes are on Stockx with a low ask of an even $1,000,000.
Did you know?
You may notice that the last sale of the shoes was $9,392, which is a far cry from a million dollars. The reason for the current spike in value is largely due to a low supply – only a single pair of these shoes is available on Stockx, size 8.5. The seller seems to hope that demand will drive their sale up 100,000 times their normal value.
