Elvis Presley may have left the building, and so have his blue suede shoes haven’t.

Presley’s blue suede shoes went up for auction at British auction house Henry Aldridge and Son Ltd with an opening bid of 55,000 pounds — the equivalent of $69,654.20 U.S dollars, according to the auction listing.

The shoes fetched over $150,000 at auction on Friday, according to GMA.

The lot “simply transcends 20th century popular culture,” the auction listing stated.

Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge, said “the price for me reflects the importance of such an iconic object.” He added, “The sale of the shoes reflects the iconic nature and the enduring fascination in Elvis.”

Besides naming his 1956 hit “Blue Suede Shoes,” after his actual footwear, Presley put the shoes to use on and off the stage, according to Henry Aldridge and Son Ltd.

“There is a lot of history wrapped up in these well worn blue suede shoes which are synonymous with the name Elvis Presley,” the listing stated.

During his performance on the Steve Allen show in 1956, Presley wore the shoes while singing ‘I Want You, I Need You, I Love You,’” and “Hound Dog,” Henry Aldridge and Son Ltd said.

“The shoes have an unbroken line of provenance,” its listing reads. The shoes were gifted to Alan Fortas, a close friend of Elvis, before Presley left for the Army in 1958.

In addition to the shoes, three documents of authenticity were included in the lot, such as a letter of authenticity signed by Jimmy Velvet, a friend of Elvis, an Elvis Presley Museum certificate of authenticity also signed by Jimmy Velvet and a letter from Alan Fortas.
