We will probably never know the small details of the sale, and that’s probably for good reason. Not even the biggest Raptors or Drake fan would keep such a special pair tucked away in the shoebox. Many of us would probably do the same thing, especially if it would put six figures in the bank so easily. The entire interaction must have been documented somehow-personally or otherwise-because the lucky fan was able to sell the shoes rather quickly online. That game night happened to have been a Drake Extravaganza Night. According to this article from, the shoes were given to an extremely lucky fan attending a Toronto Raptors game night in 2014. But the only thing that makes this shoe special is what it went through. We could only guess that it must have had some type of signature or mark to distinguish it from other shoes. No one is even sure, at this point, whether the shoes were signed by Drake or not even at all. So what exactly does this shoe have that made it sell for $100,000 on eBay? As a matter of fact, there isn’t much different with this shoe compared to other releases.
To put it into perspective, these pair of sneakers cost more than most of our cars. We list this particular pair as the second most expensive Jordan’s ever sold-short of only $4,000 from the top of the list. However, there’s a pair out there of the same exact shoes that sold for $100,000.
That’s about what you could expect to pay for a higher end pair of Jordans. The website, although sold out, sells the Air Jordan 12 OVO for $225. If you wanted to wear white shoes and stand out, you’d be wearing the Air Jordan 12 OVO. It’s the reason why the shoes are hard to come by, why they sell so quickly. Looking at the shoes, you could never doubt that this was the result of the merging of two incredible brands. You’ll also see the OVO Owl branding on the insole-all in gold. Looking on the translucent outsoles, you’ll also see another gold Jumpman on the toe part and an OVO cross label. There are few gold accents on the shoes-on the sides, the lacing parts, and the Jumpman logo on the tongue. The shoes’ upper is made with premium white leather, and the detailing on the shoes is understated and stunning. They’re exactly the kind of shoes you could picture a high-profile celebrity such as Drake wearing. has had the Air Jordan 12 OVO listed as “Sold Out” for a while now, and we’re not surprised. They’re the kind of basketball shoes that you’ll never wear on the court, and you never should because of how much they cost. A quick glance at the shoes will reveal sneakers that are highly elegant and dressy. The Air Jordan 10 clearly fits with the dynamic of the brand, and the Air Jordan 12 is nothing but an elevated version of its predecessor. Clean lines, clean colors, and clean branding are things that come to mind when looking at October’s Very Own. Drake’s Toronto-based OVO brand is fairly simple. The shoes in question, The Air Jordan 12 OVO, is similar to the Air Jordan 10. With his name, his brand, and his personal life so deeply tied to the game of basketball, it’s no doubt that the next move was to create custom basketball shoes.
The Canadian star never fails to let the world know that he’s the number one fan of the NBA team and recent NBA champions. But more so, the rapper has become the undeniable voice and face of the Toronto Raptors. Drake has become the global spokesperson for anything that has to do with Toronto. The HistoryĪccording to this article from, a similar story happened at another Drake Night. Those shoes, sold not too long after, easily collected $20,000 for the benefactor. Of course in keeping with the spirit of giving, Drake gifted a basketball fan with a pair during a Toronto Raptors Drake Night event. This design is rare to find, as the shoes were created as gifts to Drake and his group. These shoes bear the label of Drake’s own clothing line, October’s Very Own. The company partnered with one of the music industry’s biggest names-Drake-to release a special pair of shoes: the Air Jordan 10 Retro OVO. The Nike and Jordan brands are known for setting up partnerships with some pretty big names. Many businesses, celebrities, musicians, and athletes partner with brands in order to promote their own brands or to simply establish good relationships and sponsorships. Partnering with a shoe brand is a great marketing move.
