Last year, a shirt belonging to Michael Jordan, which he wore during the 1998 Finals, was sold for $10.1 million at Sotheby’s, making it the most expensive sports memorabilia ever sold at auction.

“Michael Jordan sports memorabilia has proven to be the most sought after item on the market,” Brahm Wachter, Head of Streetwear and Novelty Collectibles at Sotheby’s, said in a press release.

The pair of sneakers up for auction were worn during Game 2 in Salt Lake City, which the Bulls won 93-88 after losing Game 1, with Jordan scoring 37 points.

In another context, the Haggins & Jordan auction house previously announced the sale of the ticket heel for the first match of Michael Jordan, in the NBA, for $ 264,000, and the house added that the heel of the ticket was sold for the highest bid price in the auction, which is $ 220,000. But the buyer will pay an additional 20%, which brings the final total to $264,000. According to what was published by the Russian agency “Sputnik”, Jordan played his first match in the American League, on October 26, 1984 at Chicago Stadium in front of more than 13,000 fans, as the Chicago Bulls won 109-93 over the Washington Bullets.
