New Christie’s department for collectible sneakers
27/09/2022
Auction house Christie’s is to launch a new department devoted to sneakers, streetwear and collectibles, calling it Department X. It described these categories as an “emerging collecting space”.
Department X will be a resource for Christie’s to sell rare collectibles in a number of genres, including sports history. It was inspired to create the new department by its recent success in selling rare Michael Jordan sneakers.
