Even thought the Lakers got swept from the playoffs does not mean that Kobe Bryant and team are taking any days off from his sneaker release. These are a switch up to the colors that were put out in the past by keep the color scheme real Call of Duty like! HA.

ShoeZeum Tour ‘Golden Ticket’ Auctions on eBay

We decided to post this up because one it's going to a really great cause, and two...this is a perfect example of really taking the sneaker game to another level. If you don't already know by now Jordan Geller (Guy holding the dog) took years and years building up his very own sneaker paradise in a warehouse in San Diego. It's been dubbed the "ShoeZeum" because it's pretty much made of everything NIke including Jordan numbered series line up shoes, Nike SB, Runners, OG trainers, and the list goes on. The unique thing about his collection is that he has created these "themed displays" for almost every sneaker he owns and the displays flow right with the respective shoe.

This warehouse was recently visited by some of Nike higher ups like Nike CEO Mark Parker and design mastermind Tinker Hatfield just to name a few. Only a select few groups of people have been invited to visit the ShoeZeum until now. And now for the first time ever, you just might be able to do that. Sneakernews dubbed Jordan the "Willy Wonka" of the shoe game and from that idea five “golden tickets” have been produced granting entry to The ShoeZeum for the winner and a guest. First auction for the tickets went up on Ebay yesterday and all the proceeds will go to the LiveStrong foundation due to the fact that Jordan is pro Nike. The rest of the auction will go up throughout the week.

The five winners and their guests will be invited to enjoy a one of a kind private tour of The ShoeZeum at 7pm on May 21st, so if you have some change saved up you might want to get in on this once in a lifetime experience. Peep the video below and CLICK HERE to find out more info on the auction.

If you weren't a fan of the 2 before maybe you might like it with this newly designed midsole, it's definitely got our attention. Keep you posted once we get these in hand.
