It’s one for the money.
Elvis Presley’s iconic blue suede shoes walked off the auction block Friday at a hip-shaking six-figure price that echoed the huge footprint The King left on Rock n’ Roll.
The pair, which Presley bought after his song of the same name rocketed up the charts in 1956, sold for about $120,000 — slightly below the auction house estimate between $126,000 and $151,000.
“They are as iconic as they can be,” said the auctioneer Andrew Aldridge of Henry Aldridge & Son in Devizes, Wiltshire, England.
