Ne-Yo fans will get a chance to shop for sneakers from the R&B singer's closet thanks to StockX, which is partnering with him for the "Walk in Our Shoes" series of charity auctions.

StockX (the sneaker selling platform formerly known as Campless) announced that beginning at 10:00 a.m. EST today through 11:59 a.m. EST Friday, May 20, users on the site can bid on more than 20 pairs from Ne-Yo's collection. Money raised from the auctions will go to the Compound Foundation's Music Academy Boot Camp and annual Giving Tour.

Ne-Yo started the Compound Foundation, which provides support to kids growing up in foster care and youth homes, in 2007. He is excited to use the unique avenue of sneakers to help these disadvantaged groups. 

"Advocating for children, most of whom who have faced challenging circumstances, is my passion and mission for the The Compound Foundation," Ne-Yo said in a press release. "I am proud to be a part of the 'Walk In Our Shoes' campaign that provides a fantastic opportunity to use my sneakers as a force for good."
