No this is literally an all gold everything sneaker. What we have here is Better Solomons collaboration on the Nike Tier Worse one. These released right around all star weekend. And this is a luxurious sneaker. Every single detail of this shoe was thought out you have the shoe bags right here with better solomons autograph on them as well as the nike swoosh and here's the sneaker itself it's got a gold swoosh on it laces that are made to look like a chain as well, and they have these bits on them right there no you don't have to tie them rank you can just let them hang. The retail on these was $250 but honestly, for that price point in this shoe, I feel like you best a lot. Like, there's no way you good look at this sneaker and be like, yeah, the retail should probably be 150 on those. Victor Solomon also made this chain in collaboration with Nike. And what's cool about this chain is that the links are actually made to be little Nike swooshes on them. There's also a foam posit that he did. I think that those are the star of the collaboration. Oh, yeah. Look at his signature on the heel as well. I think that's a cool detail. There's also embroidering on the toe box that you saw earlier. So all in all, there's a lot of detail on these sneakers. Like I said, retail on these was $2.50. They're already good. No they're going for, like, 400. With that said, I'm Matt Welty from Complex.
