Eminem Signed | Nike Air Max 180 Charity Series ‘Shade 45’ | Size 12

In 2006, Nike partnered with Eminem to launch the Nike Charity Series—an initiative that brought together limited-edition Air Max sneakers and global philanthropy. The series featured eight unique designs spanning the Air Max lineage, from the iconic Air Max 1 to the then-new Air Max 360. 64 pairs were produced in total and auctioned via eBay and select Nike retail locations, with all proceeds benefiting the Marshall Mathers Foundation and UNHCR’s ninemillion.org campaign in support of disadvantaged youth worldwide.

Offered in this lot is a pair of 2006 Eminem Shade 45 Nike Air Max 180s from the Charity Series

Dressed in a black and white upper with bold orange accents, the pair is most notably distinguished by “Shade 45 Sirius Satellite Radio” branding on the heel. Shade 45 is the uncensored, commercial-free hip-hop channel created by Eminem and SiriusXM.

This specific pair is individually numbered “7 of 8” on the interior lining. Notably, this pair is signed by Eminem on the toe box of the right shoe. The signature reads: “Shady 2006.” 

The sneakers are accompanied by a letter from James Spence Authentication in regards to the signature.
