Converse, or Chucks as many people fondly call them, are known for their relaxed vibe. Despite their popularity on the market, it seems that Michael Jordan’s very own pair was even more popular – even though it’s not technically from his own line or collection.

When used on the ground, the soles left marks that were akin to the footprints left by an astronaut on the moon.

Taking the top place are the solid gold OVO x Air Jordan sneakers, specifically commissioned by Drake himself. Made from 24-carat solid gold, these babies definitely warrant a huge price.
