RM Sotheby’s to auction rare collection of cars and sneakers
The Ultimate sneaker collection consisting of 99 of the world’s 100 rarest sneakers, cars, including iconic Porsches, Ferraris and Mercedes-Benz models, and sports memorabilia are going on auction at RM Sotheby’s from May 31 to June 1.
Titled the “Dare to Dream Collection”, the wearables include limited-edition Nike, Air Jordan, and Adidas sneakers, and will be showcased in a sprawling exhibition space in Toronto ahead of the Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The collection belongs to Canadian entrepreneur and collector Miles Spencer Nadal, who in 2019 bought the entire collection from Sotheby’s for $850,000 and then opened a museum to friends, family and charitable organisations.
Nadal is also an avid rare car collector and acquired 142 cars and 40 motorcycles, including a Karl Benz Motorwagen, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, a 1988 Porsche 959, a 1965 Aston Martin DB5, a 1993 Jaguar XJ220, a 1965 Shelby GT350 and a 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO.
