Today, we’re highlighting the Sneakers: Collector’s & High Fashion sale being held by Vernon Fox Auctions who are based in Folkestone, Kent.
The auction is timed, so lots are for sale online, live right now. The first of which will end from Sunday 6th Feb 2022, 5pm.
I’m a collector of things; vintage handbags, vintage coats, vintage jewellery. So I can appreciate people collect footwear – namely trainers, or as our American friends refer to them, sneakers. Some people are such fanatics that they’re willing to part with eye-watering amounts of cash to get their hands on a particular vintage pair.
There are only 57 lots, but include rare and valuable examples from brands such as Nike, Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabbana and DSquared2. The pair featured in the image above – Jordan Unisex 1 Retro High Off-White Trainers – already have a bid of £2,200.00 on them.
The buyer’s premium stands at 20% of the hammer price ex. VAT. If bidding via The Saleroom website, the charge incurred will be 28.80% inc.VAT. Additional charges are 24% ex. VAT if bidding via the i-bidder. Free UK delivery is offered to winning bidders.
