Karl Lagerfeld has always been known for pushing boundaries, and this time it pertains to the intimate technology of Chanel. The show was held at the Grand Palais, where models walked between huge, blinking monoliths made to appear like a data center. The most recent collection from the iconic French brand gave viewers a glimpse of futuristic robots in chic tweed suits, silk shirt dresses adorned with colorful, threadbare squiggles, and playful ball caps worn sideways. When asked about the inspiration behind this show, Lagerfeld details that, "The data center is something of our time. The idea of the modern woman, whatever the time, the century, or the idea of the circumstances are…[is] to have a fluid familiarity that is also bountiful." The collection celebrates all things futuristic and digital, and particularly what the future may hold for Chanel.

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.
