Did you miss that chance at the Nike "Air Yeezys" designed by Kanye West and don't mind paying through the nose for a secondhand pair? If so, then you might want to hop on eBay—not for the knockoffs and those looking to make a profit by selling them, but for the items up for auction from the shoe closet of DJ AM, who recently died of a drug overdose.

Let it be noted that TMZ called him an "Imelda Marcos," after the famously shoe-hoarding former first lady of the Philippines. Anyways, if you're a sneaker collector and wear a size 11-13, then it could be your lucky day.

There are currently 149 pairs up for sale right now, with bids as low as $31 and as high as $1,525. Proceeds from the auctions of selected shoes from his collection will go to the DJ AM Memorial Fund, founded to help others struggling with addiction.
