Nike Air Yeezy 2's Sold-Out in 19 Minutes - The Retail Price is $240, But You Can't Believe That Someone's Willing To Pay $16.4 Million USD For It!

It's amazing that someone is willing to commit £10 million ($16.4 million), for a pair of shoes upon which the Kanye West cast his magical branding spell. Nike released the shoes, the red Air Yeezy 2 sneakers known as the "Red Octobers," on February 9. There was no advance notice. The shoes sold out right away. And now a U.K. eBay auction has the current bid described above. Another pair is available at the totally fair "Buy It Now" price of $10,000. The Retail price was $240 USD when it was released, but sold-out in 19 minutes.
