"Normally sport is a movement to put people together," said Pelé, who is arguably Brazil's most famous former soccer star. Over the course of an illustrious career that many professional players could only dream of, bringing the people together is exactly what he did. Teaming up with Ralph Lauren, the United States official Olympic outfitter, Pelé gives viewers an insight into what makes one of the greatest competitors of all time really tick. Though Pelé was unable to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games due to poor health, he has speculated that he will likely attend the closing ceremonies of the games in Rio de Janeiro.

Fashion is one of those rare things that allows you to say everything without speaking a single word. Designer shoes are just a form of this unspoken sartorial communication, but it’s one so subtle that only other sneakerheads are likely to pick up on it. And it’s this understated luxury that makes tennis shoes so appealing—at least to us. Over the years with the release of exclusive collaborations, limited-edition lines and one-off collections that sell out in mere minutes, it’s easy to see how collectors can drop thousands of dollars on sneakers. But there are plenty of designer kicks that cost just as much, if not more, then pre-owned, special-edition Jordans. The only difference is you don’t have to spend months on resale sites trying to hunt down your preferred size, color and brand. Here are the most expensive kicks you can still own. None of these bad boys have sold out—yet.
