An Oregon shelter is auctioning off a very rare find: Someone left a pair of gold Air Jordan 3 sneakers in a donation bin. The sneakers are valued at over $10,000.

Sotheby’s auction house said a person helping with the shelter program at Burnside Shelter found them at the bottom of a bin. Designer Tinker Hatfield visited the shelter to confirm their authenticity. The sneakers were commissioned by Spike Lee to wear in 2019.

100% of the sales will benefit the Portland Rescue Mission. It’s unclear how the shoes came to be donated.
