Summary

A photo-matched pair of Hulk Hogan's yellow ring boots sold for $150,473.28 through Iconic Auctions, making them the second-highest priced pair of wrestling boots ever sold.

The auction listing tied the boots to the 1989 Survivor Series and the 1990 Royal Rumble. Sports Investors Authentication also matched them to Hogan's image on the WrestleMania VI program cover and WWF Wrestling Program Volume 182.

That price point adds another major sale to the memorabilia market around Hogan's peak Hulkamania run. WWE has continued to spotlight that legacy in recent years, including when WWE unveiled a Hulk Hogan statue at WWE World.

What the auction included

According to the listing, the boots showed heavy in-ring wear from late 1989 through 1990. Both were also signed by Hogan in black felt-tip marker.

The lot came with a PSA/DNA letter of authenticity for the signatures, an SIA photomatch letter, and Hogan's own signed certificate of authenticity.

The Survivor Series match tied to the boots was the 1989 elimination bout where Hogan captained The Hulkamaniacs against Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Team. The Royal Rumble match tied to the pair was Hogan's 1990 win in the 30-man Rumble.

Hulk Hogan's memorabilia market

Hulk Hogan's sale price here matters because the boots were matched to two major WWF events and still finished behind only the WrestleMania I pair that sold for more than $1 million. For collectors, that reinforces how strongly authenticated Hulkamania-era gear continues to hold value when it can be connected to specific matches and program imagery.
