Portland Rescue Mission receives thousands of pounds of donated clothing every year, which they then redistribute to people in need. Most of that clothing is lightly used and is more about keeping warm than looking flashy. So when one of the workers sorting donations spotted a bright gold pair of new Nike Air Jordan 3 sneakers, they took notice. It turns out those shoes are one of only 4 or 5 custom sneakers made for director Spike Lee and his friends. The auction house Sotheby’s values the shoes at more than $10,000. Erin Holcomb, director of staff ministry at Portland Rescue Mission, joins us to talk about what this shoe donation will mean for the organization.
