Sotheby’s shared a look at Kanye’s “Grammy Worn” Nike Air Yeezy 1 Prototypes in an Instagram post on Monday.
The black sneakers feature black laces and a strap across the front, while the famous Nike logo is featured on the side of the shoe.
According to the auction company, the 43-year-old’s shoes are currently available for a private sale and will be on display at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from April 16-21.
Kanye famously wore the sneakers during his memorable performance of Hey Mama and Strong at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in 2008.
After the shoe caught the attention of fans around the world, Nike and Kanye launched the Nike Yeezy Empire as he was revealed to be the mastermind behind the shoe.

The auction announcement comes shortly after Kanye “requested joint custody” of the four children he shares with soon-to-be ex-wife Kim, 40.
TMZ recently reported that the Yeezy mogul filed for both joint legal and physical custody.
However, the outlet added that North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 1 will most likely live with their mother for the majority of the time.
While the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has remained in Los Angeles with the kids, the rapper has been living at his Wyoming ranch thousands of miles away over the past couple years.

While both Kim and Kanye committed to co-parenting, they are said to be working out the specific details privately and will get it approved by the court.
The Grammy winner also asked that he not be accountable for any spousal support, which Kim has reportedly agreed to.
The latest documents state that Kanye said each of them should pay their own legal fees.
The Sun exclusively revealed in February that Kim and Kanye will split their combined $2.1billion fortune evenly.
While each have earned a stagger net worth, Kanye is the richer of the pair.
