Over the summer, Guinness World Record holder Jordan Geller made the decision to sell off his massive sneaker collection — better known as the ShoeZeum — piece by piece. In fact, it's something that Geller's been working on since 2012, and it's literally taken him years to trim through the stockpiles of kicks. Now, he's down to just 300 pairs, which he says he plans to unload after a move to Portland next month.

"What's left are my favorite pairs, some of the most rare stuff out there," Geller told Portland Business Journal. "I figure it's best to share it with the Portland sneakerhead community​."

According to Geller, the bulk of the remaining 300 pairs will be auctioned at the IndexPDX consignment shop on Saturday, November 14, with the unsold pairs going on display the following day. Included in this last bunch of sneakers is Geller's infamous complete Nike SB "What the Dunk" collection, which has an asking price of $100,000. 

If Geller's "What the Dunk" and "What the Doernbecher" collections end up selling, he's pledged to give $50,000 to the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital, which he's donated to previously. "These shoes are my everything. If I can sell them and help a great cause, it will make it easier to part with them," he said.

After everything he's done for the culture, this sounds like a fitting farewell for the world's biggest sneaker collection.
