Elvis Presley's blue suede shoes have sold for more than $150,000. The iconic item from "the King of Rock 'n' Roll's" wardrobe were bought by an American collector based in California as part of an auction Friday by Henry Aldridge & Son.
"The price for me, reflects the importance of such an iconic object," auctioneer Andrew Aldridge told CBS News. "When you think of Elvis, you probably think of upturned collars, Las Vegas and blue suede shoes."
The shoes made appearances both on and offstage during Elvis' storied career, including during a performance of "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" on "The Steve Allen Show" in 1956.
