After the official unveiling of Virgil Abloh’s Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 collection, a select number of pairs hit the Sotheby’s auction house for a two-week window. All proceeds from the auction would go towards the “Post Modern” Scholarship Fund, which Abloh launched in 2020 with an initial endowment of $1 million.

The auction, which contained only 200 pairs of the Air Force 1 with LV’s signature monogram pattern, began at a bidding price of $2,000. As expected, the coveted Abloh creation soon skyrocketed.

Officially closed on February 9, the highest bid size was $352,800 for a size 5, which includes the pilot case with the embossed LV logos and other luxurious details. In total, the auction raised around $25.3 million through the 200 pairs.

The Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 collection will see a wider release. However, it’s highly unlikely these pairs will be made available to the general public, much like the Dior x Air Jordan 1 collection from 2020.

Rest in power, Virgil Abloh.

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
