DJ AM’s untimely death this August led to an outpouring of grief from the dance community. But Adam Goldstein also left behind something other than his huge influence on the DJ world: his enormous sneaker collection.
The complete auction numbers 800 pairs, with the posthumous sale starting on eBay on November 15 at 4pm and lasting until December 14. The impressive collection, which Goldstein amassed over a decade, covers popular brands like Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Converse and BAPE, as well as several rarities, such as, “one of 200 pairs of Nike PlayStation Air Force 1s and one of 50 pairs of Eminem Air Jordan 4s, along with Supreme Dunks, Supa Dunks, Hyperstrikes and Air Jordan PEs."
100% of the proceeds will go to the The DJ AM Memorial Fund, which looks after people recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. Check out a gallery of the DJ AM’s collection here.
