Arguably one of the biggest sneaker stories of 2011 began when Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischen News reported some interesting eBay auctions that featured massive groupings of Air Jordans, Nike SBs, and Get Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 3 AJ6900-002 at eyebrow-raising prices. It was clear that the man behind these controversial listings had a lot more in store, so the Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischen News staff flew out to San Diego to get a firsthand look at the ‘million dollar collection’; what followed was a huge media blast for Jordan Geller – the curator of the ShoeZeum – as his collection was soon visited by some VIP guests and was featured on local news on both paper and on-screen. More internet attention soon followed from others, and Jordan put the cherry on top of this amazing ride by auctioning off five ‘Nike New York Liberty WNBA Shorts‘ on eBay, in which winning bidders would get an exclusive tour of his ShoeZeum (with all proceeds going to the LIVESTRONG charity).
May 21st was the sculpt to circle for the lucky winners (two of which were Белые женские кеды Nike of ‘I Do’ Bespoke fame), who received a 2,000-pair chronological breakdown, as well as a neat surprise in the form of a DIY paint-splatter Dunk On-feet. Other notable guests of the tour included Michael Leming, Chief Talent Scout at Nike, and Guinness, Jordan Geller’s ‘fierce’ King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, and loyal companion. If you were unable to win a golden ticket and get out to San Diego on your own, Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischen News already covered all of the ShoeZeum goodness in our thorough feature from March/April, parting ways with Nike. Check out a gallery of photos after the jump for a visual overview of the ShoeZeum Golden Ticket Tour.
