Ben Affleck proves once again that his collection of sneakers is the best in the world

For the last year Ben Affleck solidified its place of honor on Mount Olympus of the sneaker gods, or at least Nike. Every time it has been seen with the best that the universe of this type of shoe has to offer: Air Jordan 1 Mids in Mystic Navy, Air Jordan 3 Winterized Archaeo Brown, Nike Air Force 1 low in rare color triple white, Nike Dunk Low PRM Halloween

. If that wasn’t enough, during the recent Air press tour, the American actor raised the bar even more and donned a pair of very rare Fragment Design x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Royal. Do you know running shoes? Swoosh facing backwards that were worth a fortune on resale? Only those.

actor Air was photographed yesterday in Los Angeles while he was going about his usual daily activities: enjoying a good coffee in Dunkin’ donuts etc. On his feet, Affleck wore a pair of his most original collectible sneakers: SB Dunk Low

From Nike made in collaboration with Travis Scott. These are shoes released in 2020 that sold out in seconds. Today on resale sites such as StockX AND artificesold at outrageous prices.

What is special about these sneakers?

The upper features a patchwork pattern unique to the sneaker industry, featuring paisley bandana-print plaid panels (a first for Nike, by the way) that can be removed to reveal another elephant print underneath. No one can object if such a significant added value is attributed to these shoes.

Here’s another irrefutable proof that Ben Affleck fully deserves the special title of reigning king of the sneaker kingdom. Indeed, at present there are no pretenders in the world worthy to take his throne.
