A Complete Set of Virgil Abloh's Off-White™ x Nike "The Ten" Heads to Auction
Estimated to fetch between $30,000 USD and $40,000 USD.
It’s been five years since Virgil Abloh‘s Off-White™ and Nike released “The Ten,” a collection that sent the sneaker industry and its many followers into a frenzy as they hunted and hoped to get their favorite pair. Now, the scene-shaping collection is being presented as a whole at the upcoming Sotheby’s auction “Modern Collectibles,” which presents an array of contemporary collaborations alongside rare sporting classics that singlehandedly shaped a moment in many people’s lives.
“The Ten” lot doesn’t just offer a very rare selection of ten shoes, what it offers is perhaps one of the very few complete collections of Virgil Abloh’s first collaboration with Nike. As such, the shoes on offer include all of the originals — arguably Abloh’s best — which features the Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Presto, Air VaporMax, Blazer Mid, Converse Chuck Tayler, Zoom Fly SP, Air Force 1 Low, React HyperDunk, and the Air Max 97.
All pairs range from a US 10.5 to a US 11.5 depending on the way they fit, and to make the collection even more impressive all shoes on offer are deadstock.
Sotheby’s estimates the collection to sell for between $30,000 USD and $40,000 USD, which might be considered low seeing that the AJ1 “Chicago” in a deadstock condition can sell for upwards of $7,500 USD alone. Take a look at the collection above and find out more on the Sotheby’s website. Bidding commences on March 21 at 9 a.m. EDT.
