Rare Air Jordan 11 'Purple Rain' Sells for $100,000

A one-of-a-kind pair of Air Jordan 11 sneakers, dubbed the 'Purple Rain,' designed for the late musician Prince, has surfaced for sale at a staggering price of $100,000. Although the sneakers were crafted by Jordan Brand as a tribute to Prince, they never reached him before his passing in 2016. The unique design features a luxurious all-purple color scheme, with velvet mudguards and a suede upper, complemented by a white midsole and translucent purple outsole. Custom insoles showcase the word 'Jumpman' in Prince's distinctive font alongside imagery of falling rain, paying homage to his iconic song. Only one pair of these exclusive sneakers exists, making them a highly coveted collector's item. The sneakers reflect both the artistry of Jordan Brand and the cultural impact of Prince, intertwining sports and music history.
