‘Fast forward 13 years later, and those Yeezys have just earned the title of the most expensive sneakers in history after being sold in a private sale for $1.8 million. The shoes almost doubled their initial valuation of $1 million and are the first sneakers to ever sell for over that amount, as confirmed by famed auction house Sotheby’s,’ the same notes reveal.

Gerome Sapp, CEO and co-founder of the company that acquired them, called the sneakers ‘a a piece of history.’

‘The 2008 Nike Air Yeezy prototypes hold not only monetary value but also sentimental,’ TSR says.

Someone said: ‘Boy done passed Jay Z now y’all putting respect on his name. 💯’ and a commenter posted this message: ‘And this is his biggest flex on the haters.’

One follower posted: ‘And I guarantee you that if we keep supporting our black brother Kanye ‘ he’ll surpass Gucci and Louis he’ll leave his mark because BLACK IS POWER he has his flaws, but I appreciate his good heart and genius mind.’

Someone else said: ‘He might as well be in a history book by now.’
