The humble horseshoe is discarded...

The official site:It's no secret that people who are sneaker people are very serious about their shoes. Some collectors will pay tens of thousands of dollars for designer footwear only to let it sit in a case on display, never to be worn in real life. What we never realized as a public is that there is apparently a market for the same kind of shoe, but meant to be worn by a literal farm animal, slogging through hay, mud, and who knows what else.
Horse Kicks, the equine shoe startup, is proposing and launching several different styles of horse sneaker that are all modeled off of classic designer styles including Nike, Air Jordans, Supply, and even New Balance.

According to CNN, prices start around $1,200:

Customers hoping to outfit their horse with custom kicks can commission sneakers from Floyd's venture, Horse Kicks. Unlike the name-brand sneakers made for VisitLex, the commissions will be Floyd's own designs. Prices start at around $1,200, depending on the complexity of the design.
Photos of the unique footwear have taken off on social media. "I don't think any one of us realized that it would take off to the magnitude that it did," said Floyd. "As an artist, I feel like a sigh of relief."
