“I looked around one day and marveled at how blessed I am,” Ross said in a statement. “I wanted to figure out how to be a blessing to others and share some of the dopest, rarest luxuries with the world that I’ve collected over the course of my career.”
Collectors can literally step into Rozay’s shoes, with more than 300 of his kicks up for grabs. The highlight is a pair of Air Jordan 3 “Father of Asahd” sneakers created as part of an exclusive collab with the rapper’s longtime friend and collaborator, DJ Khaled. The 2018 Jordans were never available to the public, rendering them exceptionally rare. They are expected to fetch between $3,000 and $5,000.
Many maximalist designer pieces donned by Ross for the red carpet or music videos will go under the gavel, too. Standouts include two silk Versace dress shirts worn in his 2017 music video for “Idols Become Rivals” (estimate: $500–$700), two Exclusive Game bomber jackets worn in his “Apple of My Eye“ music video ($500–$700), and a Dolce & Gabbana jacket and shirt Ross sported at the 60th Grammy Awards. (Unfortunately, he isn’t selling any of his luxury watches.)
Ross also has several striking artworks and lavish collectibles on offer, such as a life-sized brass Raging Bull sculpture ($800–$1,200), a custom Keith Marton “Natural Python” basketball ($500–$700), and a Knabe & Co. grand piano with a painting of Michael Jackson’s Thriller album cover on it ($2,000–$3,000). You can even score a piece of Ross music history, such as his two-time platinum record award for “Aston Martin Music” ($500–$700).
As part of his efforts to give back to the community, Ross has teamed up with the Creative Collective NYC to direct a portion of the auction proceeds to the Boss Up Grant. The program will empower Black creatives and entrepreneurs with grants to accelerate their continued impact, business initiatives, and operations.
“Inspired by my brother Pharrell (Williams), I thought of an auction with the proceeds to help the next generation of bosses,” Ross added. “It was the most player and sustainable way to not only touch my fans but also pour into a community that has poured into me.”
