Eminem Is Auctioning Off Rare, Signed Air Jordans, Nikes & More for Charity

Marshall Bruce Mathers III—better known as international superstar "Eminem"—has long used his fame to help others. Since 2002, the artist's main philanthropic efforts have been seen through the Marshall Mathers Foundation, an organization founded to support disadvantaged and at-risk youth in Detroit, Michigan—the same place in which Em' was formed.

Although the Marshall Mathers Foundation offers a number of programs, one of the recurring ways in which it raises funds is sneaker auctions. Eminem has been a fan of footwear—in particular Air Jordans and Nike Air Maxes—since before the stardom. Over the last 20 years, the Detroit-representative has built a strong relationship with NIKE, Inc., granting him exclusive editions of popular styles like the fan-favorite Air Jordan 4 and Air Max 90. Along the way, he's also added pairs from PUMA and adidas to his personal collection.

Now, Mr. Mathers is working with Beverly Hills-based auction house Julien's Auctions to auction off over 100 different sneakers. All of them have been signed by Eminem.

According to Julien's Auctions, this auction "is the largest single-sale collection of Eminem material ever offered at public auction." All proceeds from the event will benefit the Marshall Mathers Foundation.

The auction supporting Eminem's Marshall Mathers Foundation goes live on Tuesday, Aug. 25, at 10 a.m. PDT. Interested parties must register to bid via the Julien's Auctions website.

Ahead, you'll find some featured highlights from Em's personal collection—pairs that could be yours for anywhere between $250 to upwards of $10,000.
