Investing in collectibles: A beginner’s guide

The Growing Trend of Collectibles as Investments

Emil McKenzie, a British collector of trainers based in Dubai, has turned his passion for sneakers into a lucrative investment opportunity. McKenzie’s collection of high-end trainers, which now numbers around 40 pairs, has not only brought him personal enjoyment, but also significant financial returns. While he primarily buys trainers for personal use, he has found that selling certain popular brands can be highly profitable. However, McKenzie warns that just like any other asset class, there is no guarantee that the value of a pair of trainers will increase over time.
