Justin Bieber’s World Cup Final Sneakers Bring in Nearly $30K at Charity Auction, BTS Items Top $300K

Justin Bieber’s custom sneakers from the 2026 FIFA World Cup final halftime show have turned into a major charity win. According to Christie’s, the pair he wore while performing “Everything Hallelujah” at the Spain vs. Argentina final sold for $26,400, landing just under $30,000 and far above the shoes’ original estimate of $2,000 to $4,000.

The low-top SKYLRK sneakers, part of Bieber’s Matter Daddy line, were worn in a “latte” colorway with light pink detailing during the performance at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. The sale was part of Christie’s One Goal auction, which supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative focused on expanding access to education and soccer for children worldwide.

Bieber’s shoes were only one highlight from the auction. Items tied to BTS also drew strong bidding, with clothing and accessories from the group’s “Dynamite” era bringing in $300,300 in total. Among the top sellers were Jimin’s white and red jersey with BTS patches at $110,000, V’s custom black silk scarf at $46,200, and Jung Kook’s red, black and white motocross jacket, which also reached $46,200.

Other pieces from the halftime-show memorabilia lineup also found buyers, including Shakira’s bright yellow costume from the “Dai Dai” video, Madonna’s pink bedazzled fingerless gloves, and a signed Earth Ball soccer ball linked to Shakira, Kaka and FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Christie’s also sold Chris Martin’s handwritten lyrics and setlist for Coldplay’s “We Dance,” along with a World Cup Earth ball inscribed with the names of the halftime performers.
