Spotted in the wild: the Nike Shox MR4 × Martine Rose

There are items of clothing, shoes and accessories that are characterised above all by being on sale. In Copenhagen, I spotted one of these in its natural habitat.

It's not just people camping outside concerts to get the best possible spot with a clear view of the musical crush. There are also endless queues outside shops to get their hands on the product of desire from the latest drop. A raffle, a strictly limited online prize draw, may even be your only chance to get your hands on the coveted item. If you're unlucky, you'll come away empty-handed despite your best efforts.

Part of the collection? Two new, colourful versions of the Nike Shox MR4 × Martine Rose. This time, colour gradients in Scuba Blue and Safety Orange run across the hybrid shoes made of synthetic leather. Their angular toe, the four columns in the heel area and the mules silhouette continue to ensure guaranteed recognition value.

A design for the brave, for collectors - and exclusively for those who have managed to get their hands on a pair. Because since their drop on 25 July, the shoes have been one thing above all: sold out. An urban social media myth that I previously only knew from my flickering smartphone screen. Until I actually came across them during my visit to Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Camping? Raffle? Travelling the world? How far would you go for the object of your desire? Tell me in the comments.
