Justin Bieber’s custom SKYLRK trainers, worn during the 2026 FIFA World Cup final halftime show, sold for $26,400 (£20,000 approximately) at Christie’s charity auction. The proceeds will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, highlighting how high-profile music and sporting memorabilia are being used to raise money for children’s education and access to football.

The shoes sold for more than ten times their $2,000–$4,000 estimate after Bieber wore them while performing “Everything Hallelujah” at MetLife Stadium. Other items also raised substantial sums: BTS performance clothing and accessories brought in $300,300, including Jimin’s jersey at $110,000, while Madonna’s gloves sold for $41,800 and Coldplay material, including handwritten lyrics for “We Dance”, also attracted bids.
