Speaking of 'sneakers as art', that post from earlier today reminded me of that pair of Adidas ZX8000 'porcelains' that went up for auction at @sothebys a few years back...they were expected to fetch $1m, ended up generating $126k and that was that. I never heard another word about them again.
IMO...another goregous pair. If you wanna see more pics, google is your friend!
