The 17-year-old pop singer, Justin Bieber sold his right shoe on e-Bday yesterday for $1425 (US). The lucky winner was a 52-year-old Bieber fan (weird?), named Jim Mitchell. The left pair to the size 7-and-a-half Nike shoe was donated to his former high school in Stratford, Ontario, with hopes to help build a broadcasting program.
It appears Mitchell got quite the steal for the shoe, last month it sold for $5500 dollars, but the sale fell through once it was discovered the young girl placed the bid without asking her mother. Good thing Mitchell’s parents were okay with him buying the shoe.

Singing sensation Justin Bieber is helping raise money for his former high school by donating a pair of shoes to be sold on auction website eBay.com.
The Baby hitmaker has given the autographed purple Nikes to Stratford Northwestern Secondary School in Ontario, where he was a pupil before finding fame.
The right shoe went online on Monday in honour of the star’s 17th birthday and has already attracted a high bid of $650. The other shoe will be auctioned at a later date.
Proceeds from Bieber’s kicks, which are described as worn and scuffed, will be used to build a new broadcasting and communications studio at the school.
The footwear is sure to be a hot item – a lock of the star’s hair sold for a staggering $40,668 and a space suit Bieber wore for a TV commercial fetched $5,800 at auction earlier this month.
