Luxury consignment retailer The RealReal recently released a list of the nine most valuable sneakers based on resale value after analyzing internal data.

Coming in on top is the 2011 Nike MAG with a limited edition plutonium case, which originally retailed for $179 USD and currently has a resale value of $9,900 USD, marking an incredible 5,530% value growth. “These pairs of sneakers have been able to retain their high resale value because of the limited edition Nike Mag plutonium display case,” Sean Conway, The RealReal’s sneaker and streetwear expert, told Business Insider.

The adidas YEEZY Boost 350 V2 “Core Black/White” is the only adidas model that makes the list, coming in at number nine. Kanye West has a second contribution to the group, with his Nike Air YEEZY 2 “Red October” listed as number three and holding a value increase of 1,620%. Ye’s longtime friend and collaborator Virgil Abloh contributes two pairs to the list with his MCA x Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 Low and Off-White™ x Air Jordan 1 High “Chicago” coming in at numbers five and four. Artists KAWS and Tom Sachs also grace the list with their respective Nike collaborations.
