Julien’s Auctions, the world’s leading celebrity and music memorabilia auction house, is proud to present the Marshall Mathers Foundation Auction, a landmark benefit sale featuring more than 100 sneakers from the personal collection of Eminem. The lineup includes rare Jordan x Eminem collaborations and other iconic brands, with each pair personally signed by Eminem. This is the largest single-sale collection of Eminem material ever offered at public auction. All proceeds benefit the Marshall Mathers Foundation. The auction is now open for bidding through Julien’s Auctions ahead of the August 25, 2026 sale in Los Angeles.
At the center of the auction is a story two decades in the making: Marshall Mathers’ enduring commitment to philanthropy through footwear. What began in 2006 with a Nike Air Max charity series in the wake of his close friend Proof’s death has grown into one of the most consistent charitable efforts in modern music culture, with every step tied to a larger purpose. Now, that story reaches its biggest stage yet, with all sale proceeds benefiting the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which supports disadvantaged and at-risk youth in Detroit and surrounding communities.
“Marshall has always expressed his personal style through his sneakers, and he has amassed quite a collection throughout the years,” said Paul Rosenberg, President of Shady Records and CEO of Goliath Artists, Inc. “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 auction’s footwear highlights span more than 20 years of Eminem’s relationships with Nike, Jordan, Carhartt, PUMA, and Adidas, offering collectors an unprecedented opportunity to acquire some of the rarest pieces in sneaker history. Every lot is hand-signed by Eminem and accompanied by its original box, adding both authenticity and collector value.
Among the standout sneakers are the Eminem x Nike Air Jordan 3 “Slim Shady PE,” created for Eminem’s Super Bowl LVI halftime performance; the highly coveted Eminem x Carhartt x Nike Air Jordan 4 collaboration; the Eminem x Nike Air Jordan 4 “Encore” 2017; stage-worn Nike Air Max 90 “Soundstorm” sneakers; and signed editions from Nike, Adidas, and PUMA.
