Musician Sneaker Exhibit Raises Over $36,000 For Charity

Staff Writer

In Their Shoes wraps up a successful campaign

The In Their Shoes exhibition, which auctioned off musician-designed Converse sneakers, has raised $36,144.37 for charity.

Over 80 pairs of the custom kicks were up for grabs, with a few musos pulling in some serious cash. Eight pairs from the likes of Ed Sheeran, Paramore, Skrillex, The Black Keys, You Am I, Tegan And Sara and Birdy, went for over $1,000.

All funds raised from the Warner-run project will go towards Cancer research and awareness.

Here's a video wrap-up of the event's launch in Sydney a few weeks back:
