Nike flogging pair of trainers covered in green grass-like fur for eye-watering sum

NIKE is selling a pair of trainers covered in green grass-like fur for £1,400.

The Forest Green sneakers are ten times more expensive than a standard pair of Nike Air Max shoes.

The product listing says it has a “faux fur construction inspired by an overgrown plant”.

It has a yin-yang logo on the heel and a classic Nike rubber sole.

A size 10.5 will set back customers £1,400 — although smaller versions are slightly cheaper.

The shoes are part of a collaboration with quirky clothing brand The Cactus Plant Flea Market.

But the pricey footwear was mocked online.

One wag said: “Nice shoes, who shot the Grinch?”

Others joked that they looked like Sesame Street’s bin-loving Oscar the Grouch.

Nike was contacted for comment.
