The most expensive pairs of cleats in the world are going up for auction in London. Worn by English footballers, these three pairs of shoes are worth over $624,000 altogether.
The pair worn by John Terry, captain of the Chelsea Football Club and England’s national football team, is the most expensive of the three. The Umbro shoes feature a total of 2,374 jewels—including over 27 carats of white diamonds, over 10 carats of sapphires and eighty-four black diamonds set in white gold on the tips of the cleats’ studs. White gold shields bearing Terry’s No. 6 adorn the toes and the tongues feature the names of Terry’s children, Summer and Georgie, as well as the cross of St. George. This pair of shoes is valued at just under $220,000.
The other two pairs are Nikes worn by Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney—embellished with 2,576 gems and rose gold—and center back Rio Ferdinand—decorated with 2,494 gems, rose gold and artwork by film producer and former musician Goldie. Each is valued over $202,000.
The most expensive cleats are the brainchildren of former model and dancer Luisa Di Marco.
