Forget buying Michael Jordan cards — real or digital. Forget rare figurines, collectibles or oddities related to His Airness. Forget this non-fungible token (NFT), a video of Michael Jordan breaking up a fight, that is going for quite the large chunk of change.
Instead, get excited for one of the latest Michael Jordan-related pieces of memorabilia, up for sale now with Robert Edward Auctions. According to a press release, Jordan's signed, game-worn Nike Air Jordan VII sneakers, from around 1992, are up for grabs through an online auction. Bidding began at $10,000, and you'll have a chance to dig deep into your wallets and raise that figure until the conclusion of the auction on April 18.
Pictures of the kicks — with Jordan's signature in Sharpie toward the back of each shoe — are available here, which is also where you can submit your bid for the incredible pieces of memorabilia. The description mentions that they display "moderate wear overall" but still "present exceptionally well," and the pictures show just that.
Jordan and the Bulls had one of the most dominant stretches of all time in the early 1990s, winning the first set of their two three-peats from 1991 to 1993. MJ, as expected, played a massive role in all three of those championships, averaging a league-high 31.4 points in that span before suddenly and temporarily calling it quits after the 1992-93 season.
Just think... these shoes could have been on Jordan's feet when he was making jaw-dropping highlights, like this:
Robert Edward Auctions had another awesome piece of Jordan's career up for auction last April, when his "Dream Team" signed, game-worn jersey was made available for his most passionate fans.
