New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has teamed up with auction house JOOPITER, which was founded by Pharrell Williams, for a charity auction featuring a collection of items from his personal archive.
The auction consists of a wide variety of pieces, including game-worn sports memorabilia such as custom cleats and signed helmets, alongside rare designer collaborations. Also featured in the collection are some of the handbags he’s sported throughout his NFL career, vintage t-shirts, one-of-one runway pieces, and custom jewelry.
“This collection represents many of the defining chapters of my life both on and off the field that have shaped me into the person I am today,” said OBJ. “Partnering with JOOPITER to share these items while also supporting my foundation makes this opportunity especially meaningful, and I’m excited for others to be a part of that journey.”
Net proceeds from the auction, which is open to bidding from June 17 to June 30, will go directly to the OBJ Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to improving opportunities for underserved youth, especially in New Orleans, Louisiana. The OBJ Foundation also seeks to provide mental health resources for children in low-income communities, scholarship funding, and create youth sports clinics.
“Odell Beckham Jr. changed the conversation around athlete style and cultural influence,” added JOOPITER Global Head of Sale, Caitlin Donovan. “This collection captures a defining era where sports and fashion became inseparable, Odell standing at the center of the shift. We are honored to partner with him on a project that reflects both his legacy on the field and his enduring impact on fashion and culture.”
