It's one of Nike designer Tinker Hatfield's most significant contributions to sneakers - elephant print. First debuted in the Air Jordan 3, the pattern can boost the resale value of any pair of kicks (sometimes). With elephant, or cement print, being one of the most popular and recognized designs in sneakers, it's been applied to numerous silhouettes both classic and forgettable.
But what is the most valuable sneaker with elephant print?
To find out, Campless looked into almost every black and cement style currently sold on eBay through Oct. 15. We compiled a ranking of their data below in order or least valuable average deadstock price to most.
