Who Won Joe Haden’s Signed Jersey and Cleats?
A big congratulations to Yohei from Cleveland who won Joe Haden’s signed Pro Bowl jersey and cleats. Or as he is known on Instagram — Unmovable. We couldn’t imagine a more deserving Cleveland fan to win our grand prize.
We recommend getting a nice display case to keep your newly acquired prized possessions safe and sound and out of the reach of small children and animals. For everyone that entered the contest, we thank you for your support and just in case you’re feeling salty that you didn’t win this contest…don’t worry, Haden gave us a couple of other goodies to give away, but we’re saving them for a rainy day.
How Much is Joe Haden’s Sneaker Collection Worth?
Before we get into things, let’s hear what Joe Haden and StockX CEO, Josh Luber have to say about the collection.
So, if we had to make an educated guess, Haden’s entire sneaker collection is worth somewhere around $230,000. Why the educated guess? Well that’s because we weren’t able to record Joe’s ENTIRE collection. When we visited his home in Cleveland, Joe was eager to personally show us all of his sneakers, but was careful to point out that maybe a third of his collection was at his second house in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the gas money to get out to LA, so we valued the portion of his collection currently in Cleveland.
At his house in the suburbs of Cleveland, Joe Haden has 442 pairs of sneakers; this includes all of his football cleats, slides (gotta be cozy in the locker room) and non-sneaker footwear. Those 442 pairs are worth around $180,000. If you increase this value by 30% to account for what’s in LA, you arrive at just under $230,000.
What Did StockX See at Haden’s Place in Cleveland?
Caveat: We visited Joe’s house in June of 2016. His collection has most certainly grown since our visit. Actually, knowing Joe just a little bit, he probably just added five more pairs while you were reading this sentence. So what follows is Joe Haden’s collection as of June 2016. First up, these are the top 20 most valuable sneakers in Haden’s collection.
Key Insights:
- Joe has TWO pairs of Air Yeezy 2 Red Octobers and Yeezy 1 Nets
- We didn’t include his couple pairs of Louboutins as they would’ve take five of the top twenty spots based on retail price alone
Key Insights:
- The value of each custom was determined by the market value of the sneaker that was customized + our conservative estimate of industry rates on sneaker customization
- Our team’s emotions were all over the place when we saw his custom pair of hand-painted Air Mags
- We can safely assume that the value to Joe of his son’s pair of matching,custom python-leather Jordan 1 Shattered Backboards is immeasurable with our data techniques
Here’s a couple of pictures of some of Haden’s custom sneakers that we were able to grab off of his Instagram account because we’re dumb and forgot to get good pictures of them ourselves when we had them in hand. Doh!
Nike Air Mag Custom
Father & Son Custom Jordan 1 Shattered Backboards
Custom Nike Air Force 1
Custom Jordan 9 Football Cleats
Let’s get back to the data on Joe Haden’s collection and take a look at how his collection breaks down between brands and sub-brands and which models of Jordans he’s stocking up on.
Key Insights:
- Joe has 254 pairs (as of June 2016) of Jordan Brand sneakers, this includes basketball, training, running and golf sneakers
- …which is understandable because he is a Jordan Brand athlete
- He has more football cleats than most people have of any sneaker
- ….which is understandable because he is a professional football player, it’s not like he has 42 pairs of golf cleats, that’d be weird
Key Insights:
- All of his Jordans and football cleats, which are also all Jordans technically,account for 50% of the total value of Haden’s shoe collection
- Besides the customs, Joe’s 6 pairs of Nike Yeezys have the highest average price of any category in this collection at $2560 per pair
- The “Fashion” category has a value of $16,550 based on each pair’s retail price…you can’t always wear sneakers
