Welcome to another edition of “the most ridiculous things people have done with money”. For those with practical tastes and priorities, shoes are just things that one wears on their feet to avoid foot injury while walking around. But what kind of luxury and wealth publication would we be if we focused on those people, right?

But for the purposes of entertainment, opulence, frivolity and lavish spending often make for more entertaining subject matter than careful spending and calculated decisions. For those who are into chucking buckets of money around, there is always opportunity to spend on things that are normally affordable. Have a Honda Civic but have a barn-full of money and want something that goes through a tank of gas in half an hour? Every luxury car company out there has something that will satisfy your needs. If one is a watch fanatic, from Rolex to Patek Philippe, there are options available from $10,000 to hundreds of thousands. Moving back to my original point, while plenty of shoe companies can offer footwear that will last a year or two for around $100, some see awesome shoes as an important fashion statement. So important in fact that they are willing to drop several hundreds or even thousands of dollars on their footwear. For your entertainment and spending pleasure, here are the most expensive sneakers on which people have dropped obscene amounts of money.

1. Nike Paranorman Foamposite – $3,000

Back in 2012, to accompany the animated horror movie ParaNorman, Nike produced a set of extremely rare sneakers. Just eight hundred pairs of these were made and all featured a graphics based on the film along with glow in the dark soles and tabs on the back that say “weird” and “wins” on the left and right respectively. The only way to get a pair was to follow the movie’s Twitter account and Tweet a picture of yourself “as a weird kid” with the hashtags: “#weirdwins ParaNorman Foamposites”. They can only be found on eBay and other similar sites these days and generally go for around $3,000.

2. Nike Dunk Paris Edition – $3,000 – $3,500

Made back in 2003, the Paris Edition only saw a little over 200 pairs of the shoes ever actually produced. Each pair was unique and they were inspired by the work of French painter Bernard Buffet. A pair were once put on eBay for the price of $15,000 but it is unclear whether anyone paid that much. Rather, they usually sell for around $3,000 when they trade hands, and it has been suggested that the price can reach three and a half grand. Either way, a very rare set with an interesting story if you can find them.


3. Air Jordan Retro II “The Way I Am” – $3,500

Slim Shady is known to be a fan of Nike shoes, and has a special place in his heart for the Air Jordan II. He always said that growing up they were his favorite pair of shoes and in 2008, he collaborated to make “The Way I Am”, which featured his lyrics on the ankle, front and sides of the shoe. For his hometown, only 313 pairs of these shoes were made. Why is that number significant? It is the area code in Detroit. Not nearly as rare as some shoes on this list, a pair of these is still considered valuable and usually go for about $3,500.

2015 was an insane year for movies. It was as if the 90s came back for a summer fling. We had a new Terminator movie (questionable quality aside), a fun Jurassic Park movie, and squeezed in between those were Pixar’s phenomenal Inside Out and the hugely underrated thriller, The Gift.


We’re getting a new Star Wars movie that actually looks like the Star Wars movie all Star Wars fans have pined for forever, and we are getting the new Tom Hardy and Leo DiCaprio movie, The Revenant (which we can already confidently tell you will be a game changer of a movie). It is actually hard to fathom just how awesome December’s movies are going to be in 2015. But what about looking ahead? What do we have to look forward to after this year ends? It’s almost daunting to imagine another year with as many A-list movies as there were in 2015. The thing is, this is the movies we’re talking about – they’ re always going to have to consistently up their game if they want to drag people away from the comfort of their “Netflix and chill” zones. This means that yes, indeed, there are some fantastic movies set to be released in 2016. We have some superhero joints that look slamming, a few dramas that look fantastic based on the cast alone, and a a horror movie that looks like it will soil some pants. Here are the 15 movies you should all most be looking forward to in 2016.

Dr. Strange

We love comic book movies, even if they are pushing it a little. This is one such example of pushing it. The dude is a magician who travels between dimensions and such. We’re not really sure how well this story will work on film (which was the same fear for Ant-Man and proved to be a valid one), but it’s safe to say that Marvel has a pretty good track record. Benedict Cumberbatch is starring in the lead role, and fanboys love him, so this film will probably make jillions, which we all know is not a real amount but who cares?

14. Kung Fu Panda 3

What are you, dead inside? You have to be to not enjoy this series. While some animated movies drive themselves into the ground with sequels, the second movie in this series was as good as the first, so why should we assume the third won’t be as good as the first two?

And hell yes, Jack Black is back. He is this series, after all. We’re excited for some more animal kung fu action that’s sure to please both adults and kids alike

13. X-Men: Apocalypse

[img]http://i2.wp.com/36posts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screenrant.com_.jpg?zoom=1.5&resize=599%2C798[/img]

Though they may be tapping this series out a little too quickly (didn’t the last one JUST come out?), they have remained tight enough films that we are super curious to see if Apocalypse saves or kills the franchise.

Being a fan of the comic, we can state that the main villain, Apocalypse, looks pretty stupid in the stills we’ve seen so far, so that is not looking too good; let’s hope the final product will look much better. We do, however, have faith in Marvel (even if DC’s 2016 movies look way better), Bryan Singer and its stellar cast. Fingers crossed.
