Hot off the heels of announcing an auction that involves furniture once owned by Marie Antoinette, Christie’s is now shifting its gears towards the sneakers and streetwear audience to unveil its all-new The Greats collection. The assemblage is comprised of ultra-rare game-worn kicks, hot-ticket sneaker collaborations and treasured collectibles.

Sneakers are the most prominent piece of the entire auction. A signed and worn Air Jordan 1 Hi ‘85 “Chicago” is in the mix along with a duo of Serena Williams‘ Off-White™ x Nike Court Flare 2s which is paired with a signed tennis ball. Elsewhere in the footwear category you’ll find a trio of Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 collaborations, a pair of Nike Air MAGs and Henrik Lundqvist‘s game-worn skates that are embellished with Swarovski crystals.

In case you fancy collectibles for the crib, fans will also have the opportunity to bid on a game-worn Kobe Bryant Lakers #24 jersey, a Louis Vuitton Steamer Trunk by Virgil Abloh and a Chanel-themed Medicom Toy BE@RBRICK.

The sale opens for bidding on November 29 and concludes on December 6 via Christie’s. Check out the gallery above to peep the entire capsule.
