Originally scheduled for an online-only auction closing on 23 July, Stadium Goods – the world’s premier sneaker and streetwear marketplace – curated a selection of the most prized footwear from their famed Trophy Case - the most exclusive and coveted sneakers ever produced by Nike, Air Jordan, Adidas, Yeezy and more, spanning over 15 years of the most sought-after, limited edition drops in sneaker history.

International entrepreneur and collector Miles Spencer Nadal originally presented an offer to acquire the entire collection of 100 pairs, however the consignor of the Nike Moon Shoes preferred to keep the property available in public auction.
