Custom Air Jordans Found in Homeless Shelter Donation Bin Up for Auction

Rare sneakers designed for Spike Lee could fetch up to $20,000, with all proceeds benefiting the Portland Rescue Mission.

Custom Air Jordans, designed for filmmaker Spike Lee and valued at up to $20,000, were found in a donation bin at the Portland Rescue Mission, a homeless shelter in Oregon.
The shoes were one of only a few pairs made by Nike designer Tinker Hatfield for Lee to wear at the 2019 Academy Awards and to give to his inner circle.
The shoes were authenticated by Hatfield, who also signed a replacement box and donated other Nike merchandise to the shelter.
The shoes are being auctioned off by Sotheby's, with all proceeds going to the Portland Rescue Mission, which has been helping people struggling with homelessness, hunger, and addiction since 1949.
The identity of the person who donated the shoes remains unknown.
