Bidding on eBay starts at $1,000 for these very, very limited-edition, custom-engraved sneakers, but they’re also available for a Buy It Now price of $5,000, or roughly the cost of 333.33 pastrami sandwiches at Katz’s Delicatessen. (Shipping is free.) On the plus side, these Nikes come packed in a handmade wooden box etched with the Katz’s logo and façade, and you even get an iPod nano preloaded with the When Harry Met Sally soundtrack. Because there’s no better way to commemorate nabbing a pair of $5,000 shoes than listening to Harry Connick Jr.’s version of “Winter Wonderland” while strutting across Houston Street.
