What sneakers were found in a donation bin?

But they weren’t just any sneakers; They were a pair of Air Jordan 3s made especially for Spike Lee.
How much are these shoes worth?
The sneakers are reportedly worth more than $10,000 (Rs 8,34,100).
Who designed these shoes?
These were developed by famed shoe designer Tinker Hatfield and worn by Spike Lee at the 2019 Academy Awards. Hatfield even visited the shelter to verify the discovery and present a signed design proof just in case.
Instead of keeping the money, Burnside Shelter, run by the Portland Rescue Mission, decided to sell the shoes at Sotheby’s. The charitable act will allow 100% of the money to be returned to those who need it.
How are they used now, after the discovery?

The sneakers are estimated to earn up to $20,000 (16,67,013) in bids, making them a true Cinderella story for the shelter. The puzzle of how these valuable shoes ended up in a donation bin remains unanswered. But one thing is certain: this chance find has provided a ray of hope and financial assistance to those who need it most.
Sotheby’s auction house will sell the shiny shoes on Monday. “Premium leather decorated with a striking metallic gold mask on the Swoosh, elephant print and tongue, contrasting with black, white and icy blue accents finished with a red lining,” according to Sotheby’s.
The heel features custom emblems representing Spike’s 40 Acres and A Mule Filmworks production companies, as well as an enlarged Jumpman badge. “This pair was not made available to the public.”
