A pair of Barack Obama player-exclusive Nike Hyperdunk sneakers are set to hit the market.

The size 12.5 sneakers, which are being sold by Sotheby's for $25,000, were designed exclusively for the 44th President of the United States in 2009 and are one of only two pairs in existence. They were inspired by the "United We Rise" Hyperdunks created for and worn by Team USA at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

This pair wasn't worn by Obama, but is Nike's only confirmation sample and is said to be in "incredible condition."

The sale opens to the public Friday at 4:44 p.m. ET.
