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 “Grammy” Edition | Auction

Nike Air Yeezy "Grammy" Edition | Auction

Tonight Kanye West added another reason for his detractors to dislike the Hip Hop mogul turned fashion mogul, by bum rushing the stage at the VMA awards, to interrupt country singer Taylor Swift. A bewildered Swift stood by as Kanye stated she was undeserving of the best video by a female artist, because Beyonce had produced the best video in that category. In a class move by Beyonce, when she won the best video of the year award, she asked Swift on stage to say her piece. Kanye later apologized via his blog.

This was not best award show for Mr. West. His best appearance is arguably the 50th Grammy Awards, where Kanye first wore the Nike Air Yeezy in public. The kicks come a black leather upper with a glow-in-the-dark sole.

The very pair that Kanye West wore at the Grammy Awards is now up for auction on eBay by instyleshoes to benefit the Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Oregon.

With roughly six days until the auction ends the kicks have 17 bids with the current bid at around $2,000.

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.

Nike Air Yeezy "Grammy Awards" | Auction

So it turns out that the Kanye x Jordan rumors were just that rumors. Though it would be interesting to see how Kanye West would flip the Air Jordan we already have the Air Yeezy, which itself takes inspiration from the Air Jordan.

If you picked up all three of Nike Air Yeezy colorways this past spring, you will jump at this. The pair that Kanye wore during the 50th anniversary Grammy Awards last year that come in a black leather upper with a splsh of pink.

The sneakers will go on the auction block to benefit the Doernbecher Charity.
