A collaboration between Jordan and Paris fashion house Dior, the sneakers originally retailed at $2,200 (just under R37,000) but their value has skyrocketed since the launch earlier this year.
Reputable shoe trading service StockX listed the last sale of the shoe for a cool R171,478. The average asking price on the site is listed between R171,822 and R258,510.
Fans went crazy at the thought of Mampintsha dropping so much cash on a pair of sneakers and flooded his comments section, questioning if it was real.
While some thought he was out here posting some Small Street specials, others pointed to his credentials of wearing Gucci and LV in the past, to show that he had enough coins to afford the real thing.
Most just begged him to tell the truth and come clean about whether he really got them from Jordan or China Mall.
All they got in response was a cryptic comment, โLet's talk again, boysโ.
