Shoe Palace<\/a> has partnered with Charitybuzz, Jason Markk and the family of SP Gina to auction off her collection of Jordan Brand<\/a> and Nike<\/a> shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The auction is dedicated to the memory of the one-of-a-kind sneakerhead, influencer and elementary school teacher, Virginia “SP Gina” Wright who passed away in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gina had over 200 pairs that she lovingly wore and collected over the years, including the Air Jordan 1 “Gina” <\/a>from 2019. Gina remains the only non-celebrity to receive her own shoe from the Jordan Brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gina clearly left an indelible mark on her students and on the global sneaker community, and we\u2019re honored to help continue her legacy through this Shoe Palace collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We look forward to auctioning the collection to raise important funds for Gina\u2019s scholarship at San Jose State.<\/p>\nBen Erwin, Charitybuzz CEO<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Proceeds from the auction will go to a San Jose State University scholarship fund in honor of Gina. As a San Jose State alum, Gina believed strongly in education and her family felt this was the best way to celebrate her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
