The most expensive jeans and shoes

Jeans have come a long way from their working-class origins. Jeans are no longer reserved for physical labor or college campuses. Today's fashionable blue jeans are acceptable at dinner parties, the office, everywhere, except the most formal events. Jeans can be found in the closets of both billionaires and bikers However, there can be a big difference in their price tags. How much of a difference? A pair of Levi's can be bought for less than $20 at Wal-Mart Stores. Gucci says "Genius Jeans" are the most expensive jeans in the world. A pair of Gucci jeans that had been ripped and covered with African beads, were priced at an astonishing $3,134. Today, there are jeans for more than double that amount. Levi Strauss & Co. spent $46,532 buying a pair of its own jeans. The jeans were found in a Nevada mining town and date back to the 1880s. The company has no plans to resell them, because Levi's says they are priceless and one of a kind.
