To the sneakerhead, unpacking a pair of legendary footwear is a delicate ceremony. New sneakers are more than footwear: Sneaker guru Michael Sykes admits that the latest fashionable sneakers can be more about identity than fashion.
And while sneakers can be seen as a status symbol (and an investment opportunity), they can also give us a snapshot of a country’s economy.
The latest study by SavingSpot reveals how affordable some of the most sought-after sneakers are in different countries where the different brands have official shops.
After shortlisting the most influential sneakers worldwide with the help of numerous articles such as this one and this one, SavingSpot has revealed how prices for five iconic shoes differ worldwide by manually researching prices on the official brand websites in every country. Lastly, the team calculated these as a percentage of the monthly average wage using The World Bank’s ‘adjusted net national income per capita’ data to determine the affordability of each shoe around the globe.
Here’s an atlas of world maps of what countries pay the mos and least for sneakers of different brands.
Nike Air Force 1s
The second most famous Air Force 1s (after the US President’s plane), these basketball sneakers changed the world in 1982, both on and off the court, thanks to their revolutionary design. Sneaker fans in Argentina would need to save up for these, as they retail at over $200, compared to just $90 in the United States.

Nike Air Jordan 1s
The Nike Air brand was already legendary but went up another notch in the mid-1980s when basketball superstar Michael Jordan created a range at the peak of his success and global fame. In his home country, they sell for just $9, but any Argentinian fans will have to pay more than twice that at $187.

Adidas Superstars
Until the 1980s, sneakers were endorsed mainly by athletes, but the Adidas Superstars changed all of that thanks to their association with Run-DMC, who loved them so much they even rapped about them. These kicks cost $147 in India, which is steep compared to Peru’s $70 price tag.

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars
When basketball star Chuck Taylor asked Converse to make him a shoe with more support and flexibility in 1922, a star was born. With his signature on the ankle, they became known as Chucks and worn by everyone from Joe Biden to James Dean to Kurt Cobain. They’re most affordable in South Korea at just $48 and are most expensive at $89 in Australia.
