A pair of Justin Bieber's SKYLRK sneakers worn during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final halftime show sold for $26,400 at a Christie's auction, far exceeding their pre-sale estimate of $2,000 to $4,000. The beige shoes, which marked the debut of that colorway, were worn as Bieber performed his song "Everything Hallelujah" on acoustic guitar during the July 19 show at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford.

The "One Goal" auction, which ran from July 22 for one week, featured memorabilia from several performers at the historic halftime event. Madonna's gloves fetched $41,800, BTS clothing and accessories generated more than $300,000, and Shakira's yellow "Dai Dai" music video costume sold for $8,250. Coldplay's handwritten lyrics to "We Dance" brought in $15,400.

Proceeds benefit the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million, bolstered by a $1 donation from every World Cup match ticket sold.
