Basketball Legends' Sneakers Hit Auction Block for a Cause

When Magic Johnson sold his custom-designed sneakers for $1 million in December, it set a record for charity. The NBA legend aimed to fund college dreams for kids with incarcerated parents. But the story doesn't end there. Another hoops legend, Steve Nash, stepped into the game with his own unique touch. Nash teamed up with designer Rico Worl to create a special pair of Nike Air Force 1 ’07s. Inspired by the Tlingit tale 'Raven and the Box of Daylight, ' the sneakers feature a cosmic blue-brown color scheme, handcrafted silver stars, and a depiction of Raven in flight.

Nash's sneakers are size 9 women's, and the auction package includes surprise goodies. Bidding closes on December 15th at 11:59 PM Alaska Standard Time. The proceeds will support causes like education equity and preventing child abuse, reflecting Nash's commitment to improving kids' lives. This auction follows Magic Johnson’s 'My Cleats My Cause' campaign, which brought attention to ScholarCHIPS, an organization aiding college students with incarcerated parents. With a $1. 2 billion net worth, Johnson’s honest intent couldn’t be clearer: to keep opening doors for those in need.
