Nike is holding a rather interesting Charity Auction for 5 pairs of +41 Nike iD’s for the benefit of the Schtifti foundation in Switzerland.
What makes this auction so interesting isn’t because only the kicks are iconic, but rather who they are auctioning them off with, because instead of throwing them up on E-bay the way they done in the past with the Eminem Nike iD Auction. This time Nike decided to get famous auction house Christie’s to help them hold the first ever sneaker auction made by a major auction house in history at Zürich’s trendiest night spot: Mascotte in Bellevue.
