5 Pairs of Michael Jordan's Game-Worn Sneakers Are Being Auctioned Off

One auction house is overloading on heat for its summer lot.

Auction house SCP recently launched its Mid-Summer Classic auction lot, featuring a wide range of collectible vintage sports memorabilia. As usual, Michael Jordan pieces are among the main attractions, including five pairs of his game-worn sneakers.

A journey through Jordan’s career, the auctions start with a pair of Converse from his time at UNC and end with an Air Jordan 18 he wore during his final NBA season in Washington. In between, there’s an Air Jordan 2 and two pairs of Air Jordan 7s.

The Nike Air Ship worn by Jordan early in his rookie season was recently sold by SCP for $71,000.

Read on for a closer look at these piece of history.

A former teammate of Jordan’s reportedly handed over this game-worn pair of “Olympic” 7s from the Dream Team’s historic run in Barcelona. The shoes look odd with replaced white laces, though.
