Eminem is set to auction off rare signed sneakers from his personal collection to benefit the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which supports disadvantaged and at-risk youth in the Detroit area. The charity sale, announced by Julien’s Auctions, will take place on August 25th in Los Angeles and will feature over 100 personally signed sneakers, including rare Nike Air Jordan and Air Max collaborations, as well as special-edition adidas Superstar and PUMA Palace Guard shoes.
The benefit auction includes a wide range of unique sneaker collaborations, each coming 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.
The Auction and Its Purpose
According to Paul Rosenberg, President of Shady Records and CEO of Goliath Artists, Inc., “Marshall has always expressed his personal style through his sneakers, and he has amassed quite a collection throughout the years. 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.”
The full collection can be viewed and bids can be placed 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. Interested parties can bid online, over the telephone, in person at the Los Angeles event, or in advance by filling out a form.
