If you’re gonzo over David Beckham, Adidas has the shoe for you! The limited edition Beckham Yin/Yang is available for US$723.00 a pair. There are only 723 pairs being made, and Beckham himself owns #1, #7, #23 and #723.
If you’re a Becks fan, you already know the significance of the price and the number of pairs: Beckham’s jersey number with England was 7, and his current number with Real Madrid is 23.
The shoes, available only in size UK9 (Beckham’s own, natch), come in an Asian-inspired wooden box with glass doors and magnetic latches. The shoes are silver with red accents and you also get a limited-edition book, Images of Beckham, with quotes from Confucius.
Shipping is free.
And apparently, Adidas’ stupid website won’t let you directly link to any of their products. If you search for “beckham,” it comes up.
And of course it had to be 723, not like, 237. That would just be silly.
