Michael Jordan’s six championship shoes could sell for millions
There’s a lot of Michael Jordan on the air in 2023. Why? No. 23, of course, was the basketball legend’s jersey number.
Upcoming film “Air” starring Viola Davis, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. And now, six of the shoes — individual Air Jordans, not pairs — that MJ wore during the final, winning game of each of his NBA championships, are up for sale at Sotheby’s as a collection.
It’s unclear how much such a unique group could sell for, said Eric Hirsch, contemporary collectibles specialist at Sotheby’s, which offers the shoes for private sale rather than auction. A pair of shoes Jordan wore during his debut season in 1984 sold in 2021 for a record $1.47 million.
