The collection of expensive sneakers has been an old ritual for sneakerheads for decades now, and the demand and trend for it have only increased in recent times. Sneakers have become a staple in fashion and are worn by people of all ages. The sneaker market is vast and multi-varied, and there are many brands to choose from. Nike and Adidas are the two archrivals that have been ruling the sneaker game for decades. However, there are many other brands that are popular among sneakerheads like New Balance, Vans, Converse, Asics, and many others.
Not only do these sneaker brands offer some of the most eye-catching and expensive sneakers, but some of the luxury fashion brands have also launched various high-end sneakers. These are a must-have for sneaker lovers to add to their collection.

GALLERY DEPT is one of the most popular fashion labels that suddenly made its appearance in the early 2020s. In addition to being associated with some of the top tastemakers in the fashion world, the brand has gained a following for continuing to uphold its mission statement.
And recently, the brand has associated with Asics and dropped one of the most expensive sneakers in the market with a $250 initial retail price. The current resale price of the pair is $863.

5) Nike Ja 1 “Swarovski”
Another expensive sneaker in collaboration with one of the most luxurious jewelry brands Swarovski and the giant sneaker label Nike, was released on May 26th, 2023.
Although some early online speculations pegged the Swarovski version with a price tag of $400, it was offered for sale for $250 at the All-Star Weekend event via SNKRS Stash. Resale costs have naturally increased in the months that have followed, given that the regional exclusive was the sole release for this color palette so far.

These are some of the most expensive sneakers in the 2023 sneaker market. All of them are available for purchase via sneaker retailers like StockX, GOAT, Farfetch, and others.
