Some lots will open with starting bids from $25, making the auction accessible to a wide range of collectors.
Largest Eminem sneaker auction to date
According to Julien’s Auctions, the sale represents the largest single collection of Eminem memorabilia ever offered at public auction.
The Los Angeles-based auction house specialises in entertainment memorabilia and has previously handled items connected to some of the world’s biggest music stars.
Auction supports youth programmes in Detroit
Money raised from the sale will benefit the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which supports young people and community initiatives across Detroit and the surrounding area.
Eminem has long used the foundation to back programmes focused on helping disadvantaged youth in his hometown.
For sneaker collectors and hip-hop fans alike, the auction offers a rare opportunity to own signed footwear directly from one of rap’s biggest names while supporting a charitable cause.
