What’s the most valuable sneaker in the world? Ken Goldin might have the answer. The auctioneer brought some of the most coveted sneakers he has access to—all the shoes worn by the 1992 Olympic Dream Team and Michael Jordan’s original ‘Flu Game’ Air Jordan 12s, for example—for the latest episode of the Complex Sneakers Podcast. Goldin talks about how to identify game-worn sneakers, how to identify when sneakers aren’t actually game-worn, and the best sneaker collection he’s ever come across. Also, the cohosts discuss which sneakers they’d wear for the rest of their lives and leak some upcoming Nike releases.
