J.R.R. Tolkien

First edition second impression and the first with color plates of The Hobbit, Tolkien's best-known work.<ul><li>J.R.R.

Tolkien's creative perspective was born from a childhood spent briefly in South Africa and then rural England, a short but wretched tour during World War I, and an avid fascination with German philology. Although it was originally billed as a children's book, The Hobbit attracted a varied audience and has been wildly popular since its initial publication. Tolkien built upon the tradition of fantasy literature developed by George MacDonald, Lewis Carroll and the folk tales of Arabian Nights by inventing a new language—Elvish—and making it accessible for modern-day readers. Such creativity brought rave reviews for The Hobbit, which sold out of its original print run of 1,500 copies three months after publication.

Nike

A year after Supreme debuted their first Nike SB collaboration, the New York skate brand created another iconic design: Commemorating the release of the Nike Dunk, Supreme pulled three colorways from the 1985 "Be True To Your School" program: "Varsity Red," "University Blue" and "College Orange." Each colorway features vibrant crocodile embossed leather overlays. The quarter panels are adorned with gold stars and the tongue tags have Nike branding stitched in golden thread. Supreme also introduced a branded deubre, finished in metallic gold—an accessory not often associated with the Nike SB Dunk line. Like the original 2002 release, the Supreme SB Dunk Highs were highly limited and sold exclusively through Supreme stores, limitations on purchase quantities were also put in place to discourage reselling.<ul><li>Nike SB Dunk High Pro Supreme University Blue, released in 2003.</li><li>Style number: 307385</li><li>Color code: 141</li><li>This item is final sale and is not eligible for return.</li></ul> This item ships from Hong Kong; applicable import duties, taxes, or fees may be assessed by the destination country.

Nike Air Jordan 11/29 Ultimate Gift of Flight Pack | Size 12

Creative visionary and graphic designer Jeff Staple collaborated with Nike to create a spinoff from the original 2005 “Pigeon” SB Dunk. The Nike Dunk Low Pro SB “Panda Pigeon” is the third release in the “Pigeon” Dunk series and was released in 2019. The design, originally only meant to be a sample that Staple teased on social media, was brought to life after collectors caught a glimpse of the 2018 post. The model pays tribute to Staple’s Chinese roots and features his signature pigeon embroidered on the heel of the black and white leather upper. The translucent rubber sole portrays a collage of the front page of The New York Post from the day after the famed release of the original “Pigeon” Dunk in 2005 that allegedly resulted in a sneaker riot. The Nike branding on the back heel is contrasted in lime green, with additional shoelaces and insole to match. The pair also comes with a pair of black and&nbsp;white shoelaces. The Nike Dunk, designed in the 1980s and intended for basketball, was eventually repurposed for skateboarding. The popular model would be reworked in the early 2000s with upgrades for the skateboarding community, leading to the formal debut of the Nike SB brand. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions with the Nike SB line.<ul><li>Nike SB Dunk Low Pro “Panda Pigeon.”</li><li>White and black leather upper.</li><li>Pigeon embroidered on back heel.</li><li>Staple stamp on sockliner.</li><li>Lime green accents throughout.</li><li>Black and white shoelaces in addition to lime green.</li><li>Style number: BV1310</li><li>Color code: 013</li><li>This item is final sale and not eligible for return.</li></ul> This item ships from Hong Kong; applicable import duties, taxes, or fees may be assessed by the destination country.

Like the original 2002 release, the Supreme SB Dunk Highs were highly limited and sold exclusively through Supreme stores.

Nike SB Dunk High Pro Supreme College Orange | Size 9

Nike Air Force 1 Hyperstrike Scarr’s Pizza is considered to be 1 of only 48 pairs. This Air Force 1 Hyperstrike was dropped in 2019 to friends and family of the much-loved New York Lower East Side establishment,&nbsp;Scarr’s Pizza.&nbsp;&nbsp;Founder Scarr Pimental and team member Audie Villot had the idea to create an Air Force 1 that reflected the quality of the OG versions they grew up with and to commemorate their home city. Two years later, with the support of DJ Clark Kent, the unique collaboration with Nike was celebrated among the community who helped fuel their success.&nbsp;&nbsp; Pimental and Villot brought the same meticulousness to their city’s signature sneaker, as they do to their city’s signature food. Having referenced their personal collections for the build, they ensured the double-stacked mismatched Swoosh logos measured one inch at the base - a detail that would be noted by true OG aficionados. The shoe is embroidered with Scarr’s Pizza logos at the heel and Orchard street address on the tongue. The phone number is printed in 3M material at the forefoot. Phrases ‘We Got This’ and ‘Word is Bond’ are embroidered on the upper lips and ‘Got Pies’ on the underside of each tongue. The insoles are embroidered with personalized messages from Scarr’s and DJ Clark Kent. The heel tabs reflect the flag of New York City, featuring the seal Pimental discovered on one of his many trips to the principal’s office.&nbsp;<ul><li>Considered 1 of only 48 sneakers created for the Lower East Side landmark, Scarr’s Pizza.</li><li>Designed by Scarr’s Pizza founder Scarr Pimental, team member Audie Villot, and DJ Clark Kent.</li><li>Embroidered with Scarr’s Pizza logos, Orchard street address, and ‘ We Got This’, ‘Word is Bond’ and ‘Got Pies’&nbsp;phrases.</li><li>Style Number: CN3424</li><li>Color Code: 100</li><li>This item is final sale and not eligible for return.</li></ul>
