When these shoes initially came out, the distinctive Air Jordan emblem, the air unit at the heel, and the unusual leather finish made them highly fashionable. Michael Jordan had a fantastic season, winning both the Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star Game MVP award. Hence, Air Jordan III comes second place on our list of the most expensive basketball shoes.

These Peter Moore-designed shoes were made of high-quality leather and were incredibly comfortable and flexible. They were auctioned off for about $50,000.

The Air Jordan VI joggers are widely regarded as the most comfortable joggers ever created. They are also the final Jordans to have the Nike Air logo, strengthened materials in the toe area, two holes in the tongue, and a molded heel to protect the tendon. Jordan wore these shoes when the Bulls won their first championship in 1991, against the Lakers.

They are available in five color schemes: black infrared, white infrared, white/carmine black, white/sport blue, and off white/maroon. The white/carmine black combination was also worn during the 1992 Olympics, and it is the most expensive variant now, costing around $35,000.

Kobe Bryant departed Adidas in 2002 and joined Nike a year later to design his own signature basketball shoes. After being dissatisfied with the Huarache 2k4-2k5 and some of the Jordan shoes, he debuted the athletic Air Zoom Kobe I in 2005. And the shoes become one of the most expensive basketball shoes in the world.

During that NBA season, Kobe averaged 35.4 points per game and scored 81 points in a historic game against the Toronto Raptors, the second-highest scoring game in NBA history. These achievements made the shoes incredibly desirable, and the fact that only 25 pairs were created set the price at an estimated $30,000, with Nike donating 10% of the proceeds to charity.

The first Jordan shoes, the Air Jordan I, were released in 1985 in a very small run of only 12 pairs. Michael Jordan personally autographed each pair with a water-resistant marker, and the magnificent black and red pattern matched the Chicago Bulls' outfit at the time. The original signed release is now valued at about $25,000 USD.

With those characteristics, the shoes took 5th place in the list of the most expensive basketball shoes compiled by Toplist. The shoes are still valuable and popular with both basketball players and sneaker enthusiasts.

Another pair of the most expensive basketball shoes look no further than the Nike Air Mag. These futuristic-looking shoes were designed as a recreation of the shoes shown in Back to the Future Part II, replete with light-up panels and self-fastening laces. They became immensely popular after Michael J. Fox was photographed wearing them, and Nike produced 20 pairs of these beauties, each selling for $12,000.

After thousands of hours of labor, Nike has built a flawless duplicate with space-age materials, an electroluminescent out-sole, and a battery that will last for 3,000 hours – Nike's first rechargeable pair of footwear. The reproductions were restricted to 1,500 and were auctioned off on eBay in September 2011, with the proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research. The auction alone generated $4.7 million.

Featuring a striking reflective tongue, clear rubber outsole, and a strap lock, these were Michael Jordan’s signature shoes.

Jordan's pair has an unusual black and silver metal design with the number 23 on the back. Air Jordan V was a model that was never sold in stores and is only available from shoe collectors. They're worth roughly $10,000, which is a lot of money for a pair of customized joggers. That's why the pair of shoes has its name on the list of the most expensive basketball shoes.

These shoes, first seen in 1995, were designed for the 1998 Slam Dunk Contest and Kobe Bryant, who wore the number 8 on his shirt at the time. When Kobe left Adidas in 2002 as previously stated, the company was renamed Crazy 8. Kobe wore them solely as a manufacturing test, which was eventually abandoned.

Only two pairs were ever created, one with black, white, and blue tones and the other with black, white, and yellow tones. When they were auctioned off, they fetched $3,000, good for eighth place on the list of the world's most expensive basketball sneakers.
