This week was a memorable one in the world of sneakers on more than one front. The usual suspects like Travis Scott and sacai were in the headlines just like usual, but fresh and compelling collaborations enjoyed a share of the spotlight too, thanks to a recently-announced SpongeBob SquarePants and Kyrie Irving partnership, plus a “Coming To America” take on Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s Nike Zoom Freak 1s. adidas Originals and AriZona Iced Tea attempted to sell 99-cent kicks at a pop-up in New York, but the demand was so crazy that the NYPD shut everything down before the doors could even open. And if we’re talking crazy, let’s talk crazy money too: a wealthy Canadian businessman put down an astounding $850,000 to buy 99 pairs of kicks from the recent Stadium Goods x Sotheby’s auction. For all that and much more, check out our top ten stories from July 13th-July 19th directly below.
