You read that right. Famed auction house Sotheby’s will be selling a Nike Hyperdunk produced specifically for former US president Barack Obama. Only two pairs were ever created, this deadstock sample that has been kept in Nike’s personal vaults for the last 12 years and the one in Obama’s personal possession. The Hyperdunk was one of Kobe Bryant’s earliest signature sneakers with the Swoosh and comes in a white/beige/navy colorway based on the “United We Rise” colorway created for Team USA during the 2008 Beijing SUmmer Olympics. Other details unique to this PE are the embroidered “44” insignia on the medial toebox and an embroidered patch of the POTUS’ seal on the tongue. The shoe is a US size 12.5 men’s and will go up for sale on February 12th at exactly 4:44 pm EST via Sotheby’s “Buy Now” program for $25,000 USD.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
