DJ AM shoe collection being auctioned off through Ebay to support charity.

Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM was not only a world renouned DJ, but also a sneaker freak.  Over 800 of the late celebrity DJ’s shoes will be auctioned through Ebay and will benefit a few of his favorite organizations that aid with substance addiction and recovery. The eBay auction lasts through December 1.  The DJ AM Memorial Fund pledges to distribute 100 percent of the proceeds to charity.

Goldstein, who died in August of an accidental drug overdose just as he was wrapping work on the MTV recovery program “Gone Too Far,” was an inveterate shoe hound, amassing an impressive collection of Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Converse and BAPE sneakers over more than a decade.

The Las Vegas Sun reported that AM’s collection includes “one of 200 pairs of Nike PlayStation Air Force 1s and one of 50 pairs of Eminem Air Jordan 4s, along with Supreme Dunks; Supa Dunks; Hyperstrikes; Air Jordan PEs; and other rare, retro and limited-edition shoes.”

LA’s Undefeated sneaker shop will also showcase 18 pairs of AM’s sneakers at three of their stores in the city. These shoes will not be part of the auction. AM’s shoe fetish even landed him a cameo on “Entourage” in an episode where he beat out fellow shoe obsessive Turtle in a bid to get a pair of rare Fukijama Laser Air Force 1s.
