Elvis Presley's Blue Suede Shoes Sold at Auction

Elvis Presley's iconic blue suede shoes, worn during the 1950s and famously referenced in his songs, were auctioned in the UK, fetching £120,000. The size 10.5 shoes, worn by Presley on and off stage, were described as transcending popular culture by auctioneers and verified by Elvis expert Jimmy Velvet. Presley gifted the shoes to a friend before joining the army, with a provenance line from Presley to the present day. The shoes, part of rock 'n' roll history, were sold at the top end of the estimate, solidifying their status as significant showbusiness memorabilia.
