Golden State Warriors' NBA star Stephen Curry has raised $US43,157 ($A59,800) for victims of the Oakland warehouse fire by auctioning off two pairs of sneakers.

The Warriors said on Friday the shoes Curry wore against the New York Knicks on December 15 were auctioned off to an anonymous bidder for $US30,101 ($A41,720).

The 'Oakland Strong' shoes feature the words 'OAKLAND' down the side of the left shoe and 'STRONG' down the side of the right shoe in Golden State's yellow and blue.

The pre-game 'Ghost Ship shoes went to an anonymous bidder for $US13,356 ($A18,514).

Both have the initials of all 36 victims printed on them.

Curry had posted on Twitter to advertise the eBay auction.

The fire broke out December 2 during a party at the Ghost Ship warehouse.
