Liu's track shoes, which he wore in Athens when tying the 12.91 second 110 meter world record, will be auctioned off in a charity event organized by the Shanghai Sports Bureau, the non-profit Shanghai Hope Project and the Shanghai Benevolent Fund, Xinhua news agency reported.

Most of the proceeds from the June 5 auction would go towards funding Shanghai track and field development, but Hope Project schools and poverty alleviation in rural areas would also reap benefits, the report said.

Liu signed over the shoes last October.

Independent buyers have already offered 13 million yuan for the red, gold and white Nike "Zoom Super Fly G5" shoes, it said.

The sale of the shoes would be restricted to China as they were considered a national treasure, the report said.

Liu became the first male Chinese to win an Olympic gold medal in a sprint event.
