Beverly Hills CA - November 12, 2009 In honor of the late Adam "DJ AM" Goldstien, Undefeated, Creative Visions and the Estate of Adam Goldstein today announce the DJ AM MEMORIAL FUND charity sneaker auction on eBay. The charity auction features over 800 pairs of limited edition shoes, all from Adams private personal collection.
DJ AM started collecting sneakers over 10 years ago, but his passion began as a child when his grandmother took him to buy shoes one year for the first day of school. Adam saw a pair of AirJordan 1's in his hometown of Philadelphia and was instantly hooked. "It looked like the Millennium Falcon," he had said. "It looked like a toy from 'Star Wars,' and I was begging her. They were $70 and that was unheard of, and she was like, 'Oh no.'' This fascination soon turned into a hobby which quickly made Adam one of the most avid and premiere collectors in the world. AM became recognized over the years for his expertise in sneakers and was respected worldwide for his extensive collection. His stash includes limited edition and hard or impossible to find pairs of Nike, Adidas, Converse, BAPE and more.
The public auction will begin on-line on Sunday, November 15th, and all proceeds will go to the DJ AM MEMORIAL FUND. The DJ AM Memorial Fund maintains the legacy of Adam Goldstein through extending his commitment to helping others struggling with addiction. Contributions will help organizations and projects committed to addressing issues of addiction and recovery. The fund is powered through the non-profit group Creative Visions.
Just in time for the holidays, the charity auction will run from Sunday November 15th beginning at 4:30pm (PST) through December 14th exclusively at www.ebay.com/djamshoes. As part of the auction, consumers will be able to bid on Adams shoes, some worn and some brand new. The lot includes a pair of Nike PlayStation Air Force 1s that were made exclusively for a PlayStation party (Nike only made 200 of them, and they have sold online for up to $3,000), 1 pair of Eminem Air Jordan 4s created to commemorate the release of the rapper's Encore LP (only 50 pairs of the Eminem Jordan 4s were made and they've sold in the past for close to $7,500), Supreme Dunks, Supa Dunks AND other Hyperstrikes, Air Jordan PE's, Vintage and early retro’s and many, many other rare, limited edition, hard to find gems.
Undefeated (UNDFTD) will feature 18 of the most exclusive pairs of shoes from Adam’s collection at their 3 Los Angeles area stores; La Brea, Santa Monica and Silverlake.
