MC Serch Puts His Collection Of Rare & Vintage Kicks Up For Sale

MC Serch recently put his sizable sneaker collection - valued at an estimated $75,000 - up for sale, effectively bringing many sneaker heads closer to realizing their wildest deadstock dreams. The sale of the collection includes over four decades of classics, exclusives and one-off promo pairs from Nike, Puma and Adidas. Though the sale will undoubtedly appeal to sneaker junkies it also has a great deal of appeal for people interested in hip-hop collectibles, since many of the kicks in Serch's collection were on his feet during iconic moments in hip-hop history. The finer points of the sale have been broken down by the good folks at Complex:

Do you wear size 12.5-13, have $75,000 to spend, and want a collection of 300 sneakers that dates as far back as 1982? If so, MC Serch is selling his sneaker collection, and it goes beyond the average deadstock sneakers that can be found floating around on eBay and Instagram—it's literally a capsule of hip-hop's history.

As for the sneakers Serch is selling, there are some newer releases such as Supreme x Nike Air Foampsoites Ones, Nike Air Yeezy 1s, and the Masterpiece Air Force 1s from 2007. But he's also letting go of pairs that a lot of 'heads, unless they were collecting in the '80s and '90s, haven't seen in person before. "95 percent of my collection is all originals, so they go back to ’82, ’85, ’90-’94. A lot of them are around 20 years old," Serch said.

That means his collection is full of old Air Force 1s, Huaraches, O.G. Air Maxes with proper-sized Air units, and Nike Basketball sneakers—along with vintage adidas and Pumas— that have never seen a correct retro. This is stuff that a lot of people pray Nike will bring back. But what sets this collection apart from other pieces that can be picked up here and there is that it was owned and worn by Serch as he took center stage in monumental hip-hop moments.
