Eminem to Auction Rare Signed Sneakers from Personal Collection for Detorit Youth
Eminem is auctioning more than 100 signed sneakers from his personal collection to raise money for the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which supports disadvantaged and at-risk young people in Detroit. The charity sale, organised by Julien's Auctions, takes place on 25 August in Los Angeles and represents the rapper's largest single-sale sneaker collection ever offered publicly, drawing on more than 20 years of his personal archive.
The lineup includes rare Nike Air Jordan and Air Max collaborations, special-edition adidas Superstar and PUMA Palace Guard shoes, each with its original box. Notable pieces include the Air Jordan 3 "Slim Shady PE" he wore during his Super Bowl LVI halftime show, an Air Jordan 4 Carhartt collaboration, and signed PUMA Palace Guard "Detroit Pistons" trainers. Bidding opens at 10am PT/1pm ET on 25 August and can be conducted online, by phone, in person or via advance written bid, with Shady Records president Paul Rosenberg saying the sale offers fans a chance to own "a piece of his personal collection" while supporting a cause close to Eminem's heart.
