Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher Auction Closed

We assume you have already heard about the Nike Air Yeezy Charity Auctions for the Doernbecher Kids Hospital that took place on ebay over the past two weeks.

Yesterday the auctions were closed and the good news is that a lot of money changed posession for the sneakers. To be precise:
The Nike Air Yeezy Grammy 2008 was sold for the ridiculous amount of $16.500.
The Nike Air Yeezy x Air Jordan VI (6) sole got as high as $7.400.

That makes a total of $23.900 for the Doernbecher Hospital.

At the moment no information on who won the auction is available.

Nike Air Yeezy x Air Jordan 6 “Doernbecher”

Nike Air Yeezy x Air Jordan 6 "Doernbecher"

This year's hottest new sneaker release of the year, the Nike Air Yeezy, took two years to create. During those two years the design was played with, and at one point Kanye and the design team considered placing an Air Jordan VI sole on the sneakers. As we now know the idea was scraped for the final design. The sneaker may be the reason why the untrue Air Jordan x Kanye West rumors spread online.

However, Nike has produced a 1 of 1 version of the Nike Air Yeezy resting on an Air Jordan 6 sole, which Kanye has never seen.

The sneakers are now being auctioned on eBay by instyleshoes to benefit the Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Oregon. At the posting of this article, the auction is heading toward $4,000 with 29 bids. If you want to win the auction, you have roughly six days to bid.
