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.

Play for Keeps: Find Ray Allen's Jordans in Boston

Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics is arguably the best player on the Jordan Brand roster. Allen is known for rocking player exclusive Jordans and its safe to say that we have only seen a small glimpse of the exclusive kicks he has in his collection.

Allen apparently is running out of space, because he has begun to purge a select few kicks from his private stash. In a class move Allen is making it possible hometown fans to get the sneakers.

Ray Allen is using Twitter to send out clues on where he has hidden his sneakers. The first person to find the sneakers is the winner. Word has it that Allen will stop the sneaker hunt if people start selling them.

Boston sneaker heads, follow Ray Allen on Twitter and let us know if you score a pair of kicks.
