Top 7 Rarest Nike Shoes Ever To Be Made


For a shoe collector, the harder it is to obtain the shoe the higher the sentimental value according to their perception. Every big shoe brand will always make limited edition shoes for its fans. 

Most of the time, these limited edition shoes will be made in partnership with famous artists or other specific brands and most importantly in very limited quantities. Of course, these shoes will be one of the main targets for many shoe collectors out there.

The existence of these collectors will therefore create a market for many resellers out there who are making big bucks selling back these very rare shoes. Here I would like to share with you the top 7 rarest Nike shoes ever to be made.

Be prepared to flush your wallet as getting your hands on one of these will require huge amounts of cash and then again you might not be able to get it still.

7. Nike Mag
This bright-colored shoe was originally worn by Michael J. Fox who plays the role of Marty McFly in the movie "Back to the future". This shoe was then sold in 2011, 2015, and 2016 to support the establishment of the Michael J. Fox Foundation. 
The early production of this shoe only consists of 1500 pairs and it dramatically reduced to 89 pairs when it was issued in 2015 and 2016 making the total number of pairs to be in existence 1678 pairs only. 

Despite the whole design of Nike Mag being consistent throughout its 3 years of release, Nike is constantly making innovative designs, especially the shoe's durability. In the movie "Back to the future", Marty's shoe was able to be put on automatically and in 2015, Nike introduced the same function using movement sensors technology to tie Mag's shoelaces automatically.

Perhaps it is definitely useful for those who don't know how to tie their own shoes, am I right? You can get it at the starting price of $59,999.

6. Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan 4
One of the most popular rappers in the world, Eminem, and the clothing brand Carhartt have created the limited edition Air Jordan exclusively for the friends and families of the musician, Eminem himself. Whereas an extra 10 pairs of shoes were sold in an auction on eBay. 

This shoe represents an all-black design with chromium details and plastics giving the shoe a very unique and futuristic design with the base being white. The logo "E" which stands for Eminem was also placed at the back of one shoe while the Jason Vorhees mask was at the back of the other.

The shoe is yours to buy for the price of $25,289.

5. Air Span II GW
This shoe was released as Nike honors the late Gary Warnett, a popular writer and editor in the sports and shoe industry who tragically died due to complications with his lungs. It is the special edition Air Span "GW".

With only 40 pairs being released on the 40th birthday of Warnett, this so-called Friends and Family" shoe clearly show rightful colors in which "Air Span GW" is written on the side of the shoe featuring a blue metallic color. 

On top of that, the design was also created according to the preference of Gary Warnett himself. 

4. Waffle Racing Flat "Moon Shoe"
This is one of the earliest shoes ever to be released by Nike which is a racing shoe shaped like a waffle. It was produced by the founder of Nike, Bill Bowerman by incorporating rubber into the waffle maker machine. 

Even though the origin of this shoe might sound odd to you, the shoe's performance says otherwise as the shoe gives very strong grips to the athletes. This innovation has put Nike into the eyes of the world and has allowed Nike to become one of the pioneers in the shoe industry today. 

However, since the brand was relatively new at that time as well as their shoes were only produced for those who were involved in the Olympic trials, only 12 pairs of shoes were made. 

3. Derek Jeter Air Jordan 11s
With only 5 pairs to ever be produced, this limited edition shoe reminds us of all of the living legends of baseball, Derek Jeter. Derek started playing in the baseball league when he was only 5 years old and joined the Yankees in 1992 when he was 18 at the time.

The Blue Suede shoes show the number 2 at the back of the shoes which refers to the number of Jeter's team as well as a very unique and bright white base. All 5 pairs of the shoe were sold in the auction through the voting process at Yankee Stadium during the celebration of Jeter's retirement. 

2. Craig Sager Air Jordan 1 PE
This particular shoe was special as it was made to commemorate the Late Craig Sager a very popular sports journalist who everybody loved. This shoe has many prints on it which include boxes, houndstooth, and pinstripes in many colors. One of the pairs of shoes is written "Sager" on its base while the word "Vision" is written on the other.

This symbolizes the personality of Craig Sager. Only two pairs of this unique Nike shoe were ever created and one of them is owned by one of the best music producers in the world, DJ Khaled. Craig Sager is considered an NBA icon who managed to achieve great things as a journalist.

When Craig started working for CNN in 1981, he was very loyal to the company and stayed with this station until the end of his life in 2016.

1. Colette F & F "Au Revoir" Air Jordan 1
Goodbye, or as they call it in French "Au Revoir" is also a very unique shoe released by Nike which is the "Au Revoir" Air Jordan 1s. This shoe has a very unique design that was given to a well-known street boutique in France, Colette. 

This particular design is rarely produced by Nike and the Air Jordan 1 classic portrays a white and blue color scheme similar to the boutique shop.

On the side of the shoe is also written "1997" and "2017" as a symbol for all the years Colette has been in business. The back of the shoe showed two symbolic points of the shop's logo with the white color. Lastly, the sole of the shoe is written "Au Revoir".
