Fast-growing sneaker resale platform The Edit Ldn is introducing a rare sneaker display — the Sneaker Grails Exhibition — in conjunction with luxury department store retailer Harrods early next month.

Designed to showcase the synergy between high fashion, streetwear and sneaker culture, the exhibition will be staged on the store’s second-floor men’s department from 3-6 August, bringing together rare and exclusive pairs of trainers from around the globe.

However, it’s not just a to-look-at-and-admire sort of exhibition as viewed items will also be available to buy as “collectible art pieces”, with the rarest pair priced at £60,000.

Highlights of the exhibition include Nike Air Jordan 1 Chicago 1985; Nike Air Jordan Jordan 4 Travis Scott Purple Friends & Family; Nike Air Yeezy 2 SP Red October; Nike Air Yeezy 2 NRG Solar Red, and the 1984 Air Ship, the model that inspired the Jordan 1 Chicago.

The display will also have members of the Edit Ldn team on hand to advise and educate visitors. This will include its master authenticator, Ziya Mustafa.

The Edit Ldn founder Moses Rashid is quoted as saying that all of the “beautiful pieces” on display are unlikely to be seen again.

To bring together the rare collection, Rashid partnered with Sneaker Denn, an online Nike Dunks seller founded by Dennis Mazur, who has spent the past three years “building one of the most enviable sneaker collections in London”.
