We know that certain sneakers go up in value exponentially once they go out of stock from the retailer.

We have seen Ranbir Kapoor wear quite a few pairs of sneakers which originally retailed for about Rs 20,000, but now, go for as high as Rs 2.6 Lakhs.

Well, Indian rapper Divine recently wore a pair of sneakers that underwent a somewhat similar price increase.

Divine was recently spotted at the Mumbai Airport in a rather dope-looking outfit, all blinged up to the T. 

We have always maintained, that Divine is one of the best-dressed rappers and Hip-Hop artists in India, and he continues to prove us right.

Taking a look at the outfit, we see that Divine is wearing a rather dope looking, basic black T-shirt from Burberry. Along with that, he has a really nice track jacket from Adidas.

As for bling, there is that dope looking Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, in 41mm that we had covered earlier. 

The timepiece truly is a blissful piece for horologists and fans of watches all over the world.

We also can’t miss the rather dope looking belt bag, and that equally dope looking backpack, both from Gucci. 

While the belt bag retails for about $920, or Rs 68,000, before import duties and taxes, it is his bag that comes with an awe-inducing pricetag.

The backpack that we see Divine carrying, is called the GG Black Backpack, and it retails for $1,920, or just over Rs 1.45 Lakhs. 

Add to that your regular import & customs duties and you’re looking at a price tag of over Rs 2.2 Lakhs.

That is not the statement piece of the outfit though. They have to be the Air Jordan 1s that Divine is wearing here.

Also called the Jordan 1 Retro High Fearless UNC Chicago, these Jordans stand out from the rest because of the manner in which it combines two zany-looking colours, together.

The sneakers are made of patent appliques of red, white and blue, which give it a rather distinct aesthetic.

Up until 2019, when they were new, these Air Jordan 1 Fearless would retail for $160, or roughly Rs 12,000. Now though, they are sold on the second-hand market for as high as $550, as per a number of sneaker trading websites.

That’s about Rs 45,000, in just a span of 2 years. Forget Gamestocks and everything, we ought to be investing in sneakers, it seems.

Coming back to Divine’s outfit, we have to say that well, it is divine (sorry for the pun)! The man has great taste when it comes to fashion.
