Julien’s Auctions has announced that Eminem will put rare signed sneakers from his personal collection up for bidding during a charity sale on August 25th in Los Angeles. All proceeds will go to the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which supports disadvantaged and at-risk youth in the Detroit area.
The benefit auction includes more than 100 personally signed sneakers, such as rare Nike Air Jordan and Air Max collaborations. Special-edition adidas Superstar and PUMA Palace Guard shoes are also featured in the lineup, and each item will come with its original box. This is Eminem’s largest single-sale collection ever offered at a public auction.
Spanning more than 20 years, highlights include the Air Jordan 3 “Slim Shady PE” sneakers Eminem wore during his Super Bowl LVI halftime performance with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, an Air Jordan 4 collab with Carhartt, and a signed pair of PUMA Palace Guard OG Retro “Detroit Pistons” sneakers.
Check out the full collection and register to bid now for the Marshall Mathers Foundation Auction at Julien’s Auctions. Bidding opens on August 25th at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 pm ET. In addition to participating online, interested parties can bid over the telephone, in person at the Los Angeles event, or in advance by filling out a form.
“Marshall has always expressed his personal style through his sneakers, and he has amassed quite a collection throughout the years,” said Paul Rosenberg, President of Shady Records and CEO of Goliath Artists, Inc. “We are excited to offer an opportunity to own a piece of his personal collection — including some grails — while supporting the cause that is so meaningful to him.”
Earlier this month, Eminem made a surprise appearance at JAY-Z’s The Blueprint 25th anniversary show at Yankee Stadium, performing his guest verses on “Renegade” as well as the 2002 classic “Lose Yourself.”
