Starting this Thursday, November 5th through November 15th, Saucony Originals will be auctioning off a sneaker signed by more than fifty of indie music’s favorite artists on eBay’s charity auction house MissionFish.org. Proceeds will benefit Saucony’s Run for Good Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to combating childhood obesity.
Shoe stampers include Yo La Tengo, The Walkmen, The National, Jesus Lizard, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, M83, Frightened Rabbit, Pharoahe Monch, Killer Whales, and a slew of who’s who artists on the indie music stage. Signatures were collected on a size 15 Saucony Originals Jazz sneaker this past summer while Saucony Originals was helping Pitchfork Music Festival revelers set any world record they wanted with the Universal Record Database.
