The Caitlyn Jenner collectible market is BOOMING ... at least one auction house is hoping it is ... selling one of CJ's used racing suits -- and they're hoping to score $20,000 for it!!!

The item is the driving suit Caitlyn (then Bruce) wore during the 1982 Celebrity Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach ... a race Bruce dominated and won!!

The suit eventually came into the possession of a collector who has decided to sell now that Bruce has become Caitlyn and Caitlyn has become a cultural icon for obvious reasons.

A rep for Nate D. Sanders, the company running the auction, tells TMZ Sports the starting bid is $5,000 ... but they're expecting bids to reach as high as $20k.

Hope you saved up!

D'Angelo Russell isn't letting a multi-million dollar NBA contract stop him from keeping it real ... 'cause he says he's down to reach out to the streets ... by making the cheapest pair of sneakers possible.

Russell was out in L.A. when we asked if he'd be willing to pull a Stephon Marbury with his new basketball shoe ... that is, make them affordable for the kids who might not have $200 to throw down on kicks.

Check out the clip -- DR gets out of his $60k car ... slips on his $3k backpack and says he's definitely willing to give the kids a break ... and make a shoe they can buy with their allowance.

Soulja Boy insists his "I'm going to die soon" Snapchat message was not about committing suicide -- it's just that he's lived a full, kick-ass life already ... at 25.

SB was on TMZ Live Friday to clear the air about the troubling social media post ... which caused a a lot of panic among his fans. Soulja thinks people misunderstood him, even though his comment was pretty direct.

Check out his explanation ... sounds like he's struggling with the downside of success and fame.

Khloe Kardashian was head to toe in Adidas over the weekend, which makes sense given boyfriend James Harden's $200 million deal with the company ... but now it seems the entire clan is in on the act.

Kylie was out with Tyga Sunday in Calabasas, decked out in an Adidas tracksuit, and this isn't the first time they've been spotted giving the company prized promotion.

It would sure make sense. Fact is, they might be better pitch people than Harden.

Amanda Bynes is back in action at FIDM in LA this year and one thing's for sure ... she won't let it end like last year.

Sources close to Amanda tell TMZ the actress started classes Thursday. We're told she's taking sketch classes to learn how to draw fashion pieces that can later be turned into real garments. She'll have a personal security guard to walk her around campus.

Another positive ... Amanda continues to live on her own in LA and gets frequent mental health therapy.

TMZ broke the story ... Amanda got the boot from FIDM last year after she allegedly showed up to class high and asked other students to do her work.

Ain't always pretty, but Jared Leto wears whatever the hell he wants, and it looks good ... on him. Usually.

Leto was cruising around NYC, still sporting a pink 'do ... which we're guessing is left over from shooting "Suicide Squad."

Based on the multi-colored pants and poncho, someone might have raided the wardrobe trailer.

Caitlyn Jenner and daughter Kylie grabbed lunch Monday ... the first time they've been seen in public since Kylie's 18th birthday party.

The two nibbled on sushi at Sugarfish in Calabasas after attending a NOH8 event in LA.

They were matching right down to the lipstick. Caitlyn opted for a more neutral color, while Kylie wore blue to show her support in honor of world bullying day.

Well, this is awkward ... Lewis Hamilton -- a guy who makes his living getting there first -- was rejected at the door of a super fancy Paris fashion show ... for getting there last.

Hamilton -- along with singer Janelle Monae -- tried to attend Stella McCartney's spring/summer fashion show in Paris this past weekend, but there was one problem ... they were tardy to the party.

Check out the video -- it's cringe worthy watching the two mega stars stand outside the venue for what seems like ages.

Cheer up Lewis ... you spent the summer with Rihanna ... and that's a venue we'd all like access to.

Two weeks in and Rita Ora and Travis Barker are already acting like they've been living together for years.

The new couple rolled out of bed Sunday for brunch in West Hollywood, and it looks like she went shopping ... in his closet. Barker's grungier style is clearly rubbing off on the "Black Widow" singer, who usually opts for less cover up.

As we told you, they've been inseparable since first hooking up at a charity basketball event last month ... she's even been staying at his West L.A. home every night.

Kylie Jenner is all about the family biz, which apparently now requires all the sisters to rep HARD for Adidas ... at all times.

Ever since big sis Khloe Kardashian's BF James Harden signed a $200 million dollar deal with Adidas -- Khloe AND Kylie have been sporting the gear constantly. It also can't hurt that the company cranks out Kanye West's Yeezys too.

Sooo ... Adidas: outfitting hoops superstars, NCAA teams, rappers and Kardashian asses everywhere.

Forget the rumblings at New York Fashion Week ... Joe Jonas and Gigi Hadid are still very much together.

They hit up "l'Entrecote' restaurant in Paris Saturday night and were all over each other. They're in town for Paris Fashion Week.

Young man ... Village People are pissed.

I said, young man ... Victor feels really dissed

I said young man, E! has taken our song

And they did us so ve-ry wrong

Boom boom boom boom boom

It's fun to send them a cease and desist

It's fun to send them a cease and desis-i-ist.

They can crap in their pants, they can shake in their boots

And we'll stick it to all the suits!!!

In case you didn't follow ... Victor Willis, the former cop/frontman in Village People, is demanding that E! pull the plug on the "Y.M.C.A." performance from the Macy's fashion show.

The show aired Wednesday and is scheduled to replay tonight. But sources close to Willis -- who wrote the song back in the day -- say Willis gave permission to use "Macho Man," but Macy's did a switcheroo at the last minute.

Willis fired off a cease and desist and says he'll sue the network if the show is re-aired.

Apparently ... there is a need to be unhappy.

Michael Jordan's empire has expanded to college football ... because his "Jumpman" image is now front and center on the new University of Michigan football jerseys.

Michigan has a deal with Jordan Brand -- and has become the first major college football team to let MJ's line design their uniforms.

The final design -- revealed by UM tight end coach Jay Harbaugh (and brought to our attention by our friends at BSO) -- shows Jordan's basketball logo on the jersey and on the pants.

It's a pretty big move for Michigan ... considering their jerseys are iconic in the college sports landscape.

It's the shot James Harden's people don't want you to see ... the NBA star wearing Nikes -- AGAIN -- despite the fact he just signed a $200 MILLION deal with Adidas.

Harden was leaving his hotel in NYC -- when someone in his entourage aggressively tried to block the shot. And why? Maybe it had something to do with the Swooshes on his feet.

As we previously reported, Harden's deal with Adidas doesn't begin until Oct. 1st ... but the shoe company has made it clear to him they'd rather NOT see him out in public in Nikes!!!

There are reports that Harden is still under contract with Nike until Sept. 30th ... so, he's kind of between a rock and a hard place.

Who do you appease ... your soon-to-be-ex-employer or the people about to pay you $200 MILLION??

Side note ... Harden's PR person -- also wearing Nike.

SHOE WARS!!!!!

Manny Pacquiao has some pretty passionate fans ... including a dude in Tokyo who spotted PacMan in a Louis Vuitton store and IMMEDIATELY dropped $2,500 on a bag for the boxer to sign.

Kanye West spent an afternoon with daughter North -- who was rocking a natural 'do -- and apparently does not share her father's affinity for footwear.

Baby Boosts would make a killing ... just saying.
