A majority of my search engine referrals come from acquaintances googling themselves. The rest come from sneaker freaks. If you think oxford brogues are the height of cobbling cool, well I apologise in advance for this update: the five rarest dunks of the new millennium.
1. The Charity Dunk
Limited to just one pair. No-one knows who owns them, but they paid a cool $30k. The pair in the photo were made to demonstrate the colourway, and then destroyed on completion of the auction.
2. The Orchard St Dunk.
Just 24 pairs ever, most kept back for in-house nike-hedz. A few pairs were dangled precariously around the East Village for kicksologists to find.
3. The Paris Dunk
These were sold from Collette, probably only 150 pairs ever. They feature the designs of a dead french dude called Bernard Buffet, and every pair is unique. These have rocketed in price to well over a thousand dollars.
4. The White Dunk
Just 202 pairs, sold by lottery with 200,000 tickets. The first pairs are just showing up on eBay. They are made from painter's canvas, and are otherwise devoid of detail.
5. The Supreme Dunk SB High
Two different colourways for the Supreme Low, but it's the mad starspangled High that gets in at number 5. No-one is sure how many of each of the SB Dunks have been released. Rumours vary between 250 and 2500, with 444 being a distinct possibility. All the SB Dunks are rare, but the Supreme Highs (even more than the ostrich skin Stussy Dunks) seem to be the most covetable.
