Here are the Most Expensive Sneakers according to Forbes. The first shoe featured are the Nike limited edition Air Force Ones, called Also Known As and produced in conjunction with a book celebrating the art of graffiti. The sneakers that were produced were only given to people involved with the release of the book, but Nom de Guerre has a pair on display. The shoes aren’t currently for sale but are expected to fetch between $1,000 and $1,500 when Nom de Guerre decides to release them.

Object Fetish is a service started by Tom Sicurella and Jeffrey Goldsmith. They are two creative services professionals who have a good idea for a business and are in the process of executing upon the thought.
