If fitness is a part of your New Year’s resolution (join the club), then you’ve probably picked up some new athletic wear this season. But if halfway through your workout you decide your new tank isn’t moisture wicking enough or you’re getting bored on the treadmill, remember to be thankful you’re not doing lunges in floor-length skirts or collared shirts like ladies in 1910. In the past 100 years, workout clothes (and our favorite methods of exercise) have come a long, long way, and they guys over at Mode Studios have released another viral video that show us exactly how our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers were getting in shape. Heels in 1950? Leotards and Thigh Masters in the ‘90s? It could be worse, ladies, much, much worse.

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.
