Throughout the past year, Ben Affleck has solidified his honorable place on the Mount Olympus of sneaker gods, or at least in the realm of Nike. On every occasion, he has been seen with the best that the universe of this type of footwear can offer: Air Jordan 1 Mids in Mystic Navy, Air Jordan 3 Winterized Archaeo Brown, Nike Air Force 1 Low in a rare Triple White colorway, Nike Dunk Low PRM Halloween. As if that weren’t enough, during the recent Air press tour, the American actor took it up a notch and wore a pair of the ultra-rare Fragment Design x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Royal. You know, the sneakers with the backward Swoosh that cost a fortune on the resale market? Yes, those.

The Air actor was photographed yesterday in Los Angeles while carrying out his usual daily activities: enjoying a good coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts and such. On his feet, Affleck wore one of his most unique collection sneakers: the SB Dunk Low by Nike in collaboration with Travis Scott. These are the shoes released in 2020 that sold out in seconds. Today, on resale sites such as StockX and Farfetch, they are sold at exorbitant prices.

What makes these sneakers special?

The upper features a unique patchwork design in the sneaker industry, with checkered panels showcasing a paisley bandana print (a novelty for Nike) that can be detached to reveal another elephant print underneath. No one can argue if these shoes are assigned such a significant added value.

Here is further and irrefutable proof that Ben Affleck fully deserves the particular title of the reigning king of the sneaker realm. Indeed, there are currently no worthy contenders worldwide to take a seat on his throne.
