The most expensive studs in history are up for auction
These shoes might be designed with speed in mind, but they aren't going anywhere to pass your opponents on the football field. Adorned with a staggering total of 7,444 precious stones, the three pairs worn by English footballers John Terry, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand will be auctioned for charity at the VIP launch of Rio Ferdinand's new Live The Dream Foundation. Together valued at $623,000, each pair has been independently valued and certificated by renowned jeweler Steven Jordan at the Assay Office, with Terry's at $218,000 as the most expensive of the three. Former fashion model and dancer Luisa Di Marco came up with the idea of designing and creating the world's most expensive boots before the studs were tipped with black diamonds and set in white gold along with white diamonds and sapphires.
