Eminem is stepping up to help with COVID-19 relief during the coronavirus pandemic by digging some ultra-rare sneakers out of his closet. Eminem took to social media to announce he will be selling his Jordan 4 Carhartts in a benefit for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
“Cleanin’ out my closet… donating extra pair of my @jumpman23 @carhartt 4’s along with a vintage T to @stockx. Proceeds go to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund,” Eminem wrote on social media.
Only 10 pairs of the rare Jordan 4 Retro ‘Carhartt x Eminem’ sneakers were made back in 2015.
The few pairs that have been sold on StockX previously sold for between $20,000 and $28,000. But if you want to enter the auction, one ticket can be had for $10. You can check out more on the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund website.

The coronavirus mainly comes from animals and a majority of those who were infected early either worked at or frequently visited the Huanan seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, according to The Guardian. The virus is similar to Severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome (Mers).
The Wuhan coronavirus is transmitted from person to person through “droplet transmission.” That means an infected person can pass the virus by sneezing or coughing on another person as well as by direct contact.
While a majority of the cases have been detected in the United States and China — with more than 61,000 deaths in the United States — it has now reached many countries around the world. It has also been confirmed in Italy, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and many other eastern countries.
