Real Grail Shady, Please Stand Up: Signed Eminem x Air Jordan 4s Up for Auction
One of the rarest is up for auction! The ‘Encore’ AJ4 is a Grail for many Jordan and Eminem fans, and not only is the pair a lot on , but they’re even signed by Slim Shady himself, elevating this rare find to Holy Grail status.
Eminem isn’t just one of the GOAT emcees, he’s also one of the OG Jordan collaborators in hip-hop. He was cooking up exclusive colourways before even entered the game. In 2005, Eminem teamed up with Swoosh for an exclusive colourway named after his X album, ‘Encore.’ While that album divides hardcore Em fans, these rare sneakers still make us just lose it because they apparently only released 50 friends and family pairs.
The tooling sports a distinctive blue, red, and black colour scheme. The upper is constructed with blue synthetic nubuck, with pockets of black and grey accents. Black coats the 4’s signature support wings, tongue, and laces, and also features underneath the blue netting. Light grey covers on the heel’s pull tab, which is emblazoned with a red Jumpman. The outsole features brown highlights contrasted against the black midsole and cream coating around the Air unit. And then obviously the ultimate finishing touch is the Eminem autograph in silver Sharpie sketched on the lateral of each shoe.
This lot closes December 19 and the opening bid is set at $26,000. If you’re not sitting on Eminem money, you'll have to make do with feasting your eyes on this extremely hard to find colab.
