 Elvis Presley's blue suede shoes have sold for more than $150,000. The iconic item from the King of Rock and Roll's wardrobe was bought by an American collector based in California as part of an auction by Henry Aldridge and Son. Presley made the shoes famous in his cover of blue suede shoes and wore them for several performances. He gave them to a friend the night before he left for the Army in 1958, who kept them until now.
