Top 10 Most Expensive Shoes

Nike HyperAdapt 1.0

The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 is the first self-lacing shoe made directly available for retail. The design of the footwear was executed by Tinker Hatfield accompanied by Mark Parker, who was heavily involved in the development. Utilizing an electro adaptive lacing system abbreviated as "E.A.R.L.", the sneaker technically autonomously conforms to the figuration of one’s foot. Nike’s first auto-lacing sneakers cost about $4,000.

The shoe just like the human body has an anatomy of it's own. All of these parts play an important in making the shoe. Each of these parts affect the foot, so a lot of thoughts have to be taken into consideration before making.
