Over the next 10 days Nike will be auctioning off 1500 pairs of the Nike Mag 2011 on eBay with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

The first pair was auctioned off Thursday night at the Montalban Theater and went for a whopping $37,500. The winner was British rapper Tinie Tempah.

If you're hoping to get a pair for yourself, you better have deep pockets. As of Friday afternoon bids ranged between $5000 and $6000 and there's still 8 hours left before the auction ends.

At least all the money's going to a good cause!
