An unlikely pairing, streaming service Netflix and Sotheby\u2019s<\/span><\/a> auction house have teamed up to create an out of this world sneaker<\/span><\/a>, dubbed the Dibiasky 550, to celebrate today’s release of Adam McKay\u2019s star-studded film Don\u2019t Look Up<\/i><\/span><\/a>. Featuring fragments of a pallasite meteorite, the spectacular discovery was unearthed in the dry bed of Russia\u2019s river Hekandue.<\/p>\n

Only one, singular pair of the coveted Dibiasky 550s will ever be created, which will, without a doubt make the exclusive sneaker a hot ticket item for sneaker-heads when it goes up for auction at Sothebys.com<\/span><\/a> at 12 PM ET\/5PM GMT on December 17th<\/sup> for immediate purchase. Through the auction house\u2019s Buy Now platform, proceeds will go towards WWF<\/span><\/a>\u2019s conservation efforts. Considering the one-of-a-kind sneaker is going for \u00a310,000 (approximately 13,300 USD), the World Wildlife Fund\u2019s efforts to reduce human impact on the environment should receive a pretty penny.<\/p>\n

Sotheby\u2019s Head of Streetwear & Modern Collectables Brahm Wachter said of the project, “It’s not every day we have the opportunity to offer a one-of-one pair of sneakers that technically date over four billion years old. At Sotheby\u2019s, we\u2019ve had the extraordinary pleasure to offer some of the most amazing and special sneakers ever created, but few can rival the uniqueness of this incredible pair. We look forward to bringing this incredible item to market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using McKay\u2019s forthcoming Don\u2019t Look Up<\/i> as inspiration, the custom sneakers are named after Jennifer Lawrence\u2019s character Kate Dibiasky. As a grad student studying astronomy, she and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, discover that a comet is headed straight for planet earth.<\/p>\n
