Sneaker News Among fashion icons, few can rival the influence of Kanye West, whose work with Louis Vuitton, A BATHING APE, Nike, and adidas have all become collector’s items in their own right. But even across the catalog as a whole, there are a few pairs more elusive than others. The Air Jordan 6 “Donda,” which was made in honor of West’s mother, is undoubtedly at the top of the list, as there’s estimated to be only four to six pairs in existence. And if you have $3.5 million burning a hole in your wallet, you could add one of these to your collection.
The mythical Air Jordan 6 “Donda” is one of the debut listings from Christie’s newest venture: Department X. Headed by Caitlin Donovan, the department specializes in extremely rare collectibles from the realms of music, fashion, sports, and beyond. The aforementioned pair is joined by a prototype of the Nike Air Yeezy 1, the very first sneaker Ye designed with Nike, completing a collection the auction house dubs “Ye Walks.”
Decorated with lasered florals, lyrics from Ye’s song “Roses,” and the name of Donda West herself, the Air Jordan 6 “Donda” honors the memory of Ye’s biggest inspiration, and was created for the artist as a token of condolence. Below, you can check out the sneaker in better detail; and if you’re looking to add it to your collection, you can head over to Christies.com, where it’s listed for $3.5 million USD.
