Don't lose it, Just Do It: Eminem designs Nikes
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver August 30th, 2006

Not-rapping-right-now rapper Eminem has designed a series of sports shoes for Nike. The shoes will be auctioned for charity via eBay.

Profits from sales - only eight pairs of each design will be made - are to be split between ninemillion.org and the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which raises funds for disadvantaged children in Michigan and beyond.

The musician and sometime actor told reporters:

"We're always looking for new ways to try to raise money and awareness for the foundation, so when Nike approached us we jumped at the chance. Who wouldn't want to design their own line of Nikes?"
