The Rarest Jordan 4 Sneaker in the World: A Merit-Based Case for Unmatched Provenance The Male Limited Edition Prototype of the Jordan 4 Off-White, designed by Virgil Abloh, stands as the rarest and most culturally significant Jordan 4 ever produced. This particular prototype was featured at the ICA Boston “Figures of Speech” Exhibition Preview, aligning it with the most successful women’s sneaker series in history. Prototype Specifics - Size 12 Prototype: One of approximately 300 pairs issued in men's sizes ranging from 12M to 16. - Unique Box Tag: This prototype features a custom price tag of $225, confirmed to be due to museum-tier identification. Standard retail pairs were priced at $200. - Condition: Pristine. Comparative Rarity & Appreciation - The previous “rarest” Jordan 4, the Wahlburger, lacks true provenance. Despite appreciating 38,180.5% over retail, and auctioned for 49,900% from retail 200, and is tied to a controversial figure with a history of racially motivated hate crimes in the Same city Purchase( Boston ) - In contrast, the Off-White Jordan 4: - Was auctioned for $180,000, customized for the highest bidder. - Proceeds were dedicated to Black Lives Matter, reinforcing its Black cultural provenance. - Both collaborators—Virgil Abloh and Jordan Brand—have released sneakers that have sold in the six and seven figures, proving historical success and market validation. Market Metrics & Appreciation - Inherited 50,000 % from previous Top Jordan Walburger due to Higher Provenance and rarity and reputation - Following Virgil Abloh’s passing, his stock saw a 358% appreciation - Jordan apparel also appreciated 300% post-ICA exhibition. - The 12sz m has reached $10,000 on StockX. - Based on your valuation logic: Current 4470 x 300 percent 13,410 13410 × 358 % = 48,008 , 48,008 x 50,000% $24,004,000,a fair projection for this prototype’s inherited appreciation. 410,867 Percrntage increase. Request for Agreeance in Appreciations regarding the Jordan 4 Aspect of the Collaboration not Virgil Abloh. This sneaker’s merit-based provenance, cultural significance, and historical appreciation far exceed any prior Jordan 4 release. Its connection to Virgil Abloh, museum exhibition, and Black cultural legacy justifies its position as the most valuable Jordan 4 in existence. I've posted different pics just highlighting the different box sz of.the.sneakers and you'll find non which say 225. I've also Highlighted part where the edges are Stringy or Seem wild. The Sneaker design is suppose.to Look like that

The 49,000 percent increase for the Walburger comparison Jordan is a typo. I was referring to https://store.yankeekicks.com/products/air-jordan-4-retro-wahlburgers-1. Its actually much Higher and are for sale from a Authorized shoe dealer. I must have pasted incorrectly. They have not Sold yet. I was referencing Appreciated. Stockx is 38180 percent from. 200 and I obviously did not read what I pasted through before send Im sorry
Reference 's for 358 percent increase after untimely death
https://houseofheat.co/jordan/off-white-air-jordan-4-bred-sample-sale.
Sorry that was 60,000
30 000 percent Appreciation
This is a Screenshot Reference manually typed for ur times sake. Ill email the Actual Screenshot. Several items Proven this Phenomena
Sales of Off-White items on the luxury resale platform The RealReal jumped 18-fold from the day before to the day after Virgil Abloh’s death.
Some of his iconic collaborations, such as a pair of Off-White Air Jordan Retro High OG "Chicago" sneakers, saw bids on platforms like StockX reach over $10,000, compared to their original retail price of $190. This represents a 4,460 percent increase from its retail price.
An Ikea rug designed by Abloh was listed on one platform for over 9,000 euros.
A Sotheby’s auction of 200 pairs of Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Force 1 sneakers designed by Abloh fetched a total of $25.3 million, with the highest price paid for a single pair reaching $352,800.
While it is difficult to provide an exact overall percentage for the appreciation of all Virgil Abloh-designed items, it is clear many experienced a substantial increase in value on the secondary market following his death due to increased demand and perceived rarity.
I sent Email. And Lastly the Stockx 10,000 tier for 12m 13.5 was for a Period of time ranging between 95,600 and 10,050. 2024 and late 2023
The House of Heat link isnt Connecting. Here is the google search. - jordan 4 off white bred price house of heat - in search

Im searching for the Stockx Reference Delia one moment
Just to be clear Delia the 49,000 percent auction error, which is now the 250,000 dollars on yankeeskicks , was in Reference to the highest Apreciated Jordan 4 ever competitor which is Walbuger
I originally didnt include the 10,000 rather 4470 as the starting reference to calculate everything.
Is that Sufficient delia
All photo Screenshoots I uploaded
To the item photos. Sorry i didnt think of This faster Im under the Weather
Yankeeskicks post is also sz 12 mens
Hi Lemarr,
I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather!
Do you mind if I reach out to my former colleague who is a high-end collectible sneaker appraiser and expert in that market? I'm not disputing the numbers per se but I want to make sure we evaluate these fairly; retail websites are good for background to the market but they don't always paint the fullest picture and he can help fill in some of that information, for research purposes.
Let me know if that's OK?
Thanks and feel better!
Delia
Yes Delia
Hi Lemarr,
I hope you’re feeling better - checking in quickly to say I received the additional photos from Maybelle and have reached out to my friend, who is on vacation until next week. Just wanted to give you the heads up
Hopefully Thats good.. lol ok
Yes Im Recovering
Hru Delia. Is There any Update ?
Hi Lemarr,
I hope you're fully recovered.
My colleague got back to me late last night after I followed up with a nudge yesterday morning. This would have a fair-market value of $5,000-8,000 at auction, with expectations that it could sell much higher if sold in a specialized sneaker sale.
Thanks for your patience,
Delia
