If you’ve ever wanted to dress like an NBA star and have the shoe size to match, now’s your chance. John Wall of the Washington Wizards started selling pieces from his private wardrobe today through The RealReal, and the items will remain on sale until Tuesday, June 14.

All of the proceeds from the sale will go towards the John Wall Family Foundation, which serves disadvantaged families and at-risk youth through physical activity, mentorship, and education. Some items from Wall’s closet have already been snapped up through the online store, including a $425 pair of size 12 Louis Vuitton sneakers and a $225 Givenchy sweatshirt featuring Dobermans.

There’s still a number of high-end designer goods available, including jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, scarves, jackets, ties, and sneakers (such as these way-too-fabulous stone-encrusted Louboutin high-tops that are selling for a cool $1,395). If you’re just hoping to pick up a piece of history through the sale, then happy shopping; if you’re hoping to wear the stuff yourself, just keep in mind: Wall is six-foot-four.
