Grail means: that specific piece you obsess over owning, but can’t ever find or afford (aka: life).

Grailed is a community run marketplace for buying and selling men’s fashion. Featuring a ridiculous amount of both high-end and street fashion brands there is something a bit special to suit every Tom, Dick, or Harry’s tastes. We recently saw news of an insane (and super-expensive) pair of the fabled Wu-Tang x Nike Dunk Highs going for the same amount as a modest house deposit and thought we’d see what other rarities we could blow our cash on. Check out a select few of the crazy but fly af shit you can find on Grailed in the list below.

  • Words: Ella McNicol

01. Nike 1999 Wu Tang Dunks

Anyone got any spare change? These Wu Tang Dunks are up for grabs for a modest price of $18954 (*sigh* why must cash rule everything around me?).

These black and yellow beauties were coloured in accordance with the Wu-Tang Killa Beez 1998 album The Swarm and they feature a custom tongue label and Wu Tang symbol on the heel.

These super rare kicks are mint condition and in the original box.

 

02. Celine Skateboard Deck Set

These skateboards were designed by artist Jayne Min who used the patterns from the Celine Spring/Summer 2011 collection to create the set. Around 30 of each deck was released, meaning there are only about 100 floating around, making them ultra rare.

You may recognise the designs from Coachella 2011, where Kanye West sported Celine.

To own the set of three, still sealed in the plastic, will set you back abou $5000.

03. Breitling Watch

The Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute D12322 Steel/18K Gold watch will cost you a pretty penny, priced at $3690, but this wrist bling is sure to make a statement with its busy yet elegant face and luxurious leather band.

04. Alexander McQueen doctor skull ring

Ever wished your rings actually served a purpose? Well today is your lucky day because you have a chance to nab this Alexander McQueen doctor skull ring, featuring a hinged head that actually opens. Just think of the possibilities – you could store mints in there or whatever…

The ring is brass with a silver finish and was made in Italy. Own it today for $345.

05. Supreme... dog bowl?

If you happen to have a spare $300 lying around to spend on man’s best friend, then this is just for you. This Supreme ceramic dog food bowl (yes, seriously) features bold white writing on a glossy black background.

This bowl is sure to make your dog the top dog.

06. Sukajan vintage jacket

Check that vintage Japanese swag. This satin stunner features cream coloured sleeves with embroidered dragons and a blue chest with dragons and tigers designed in the traditional Japanese style. This jacket is selling now for $600 on Grailed.

07. Dior 2015 painted jeans

These Dior jeans are anything but boring. From the Dior Homme Spring Summer 2015 Denim Looks collection, these light blue, 100% cotton hunnies are going for $630 (retail $1399). Taking paint splattered to a whole new level. 

 

 

08. Gosha Rubchinskiy coat

This military uniform inspired coat is a classic piece from Gosha. The wool blend coat body boasts hand warmer pockets on the upper chest and larger, more substantial pockets lower on the piece. This simple design coupled with a faux-fur hood trim creates a sleek and stylish coat perfect for blocking out that tram stop chill. $904 on Grailed.

09. Chanel leather jacket

Chanel. Vintage. Leather. Reversible. What else do you need in a jacket? Priced at $5000, this gold chain-print boss doesn’t come cheap, but hey, since it’s reversible, it’s practically two jackets in one!

 

010. Parra x Nike Air Max 1 'Amsterdam'

Created by Nike and Dutch designer Piet Parra, only 24 pairs of these Red Light District-inspired Air Maxes were released back in 2005. These rare kicks are priced at $2250 and feature a blue ‘Amsterdam is king’ detail on the back of the heel. One word: Dope.
