The black and red Air Jordan 13 shoes have a high estimate of $4 million, more than twice the current record for a pair of sneakers sold at auction.
The sale arrives during"Jordan Year" — a reference to the NBA star player's iconic jersey number 23. In January, Air Jordan partnered with Sotheby's to auction off 13 pairs of retro pairs of sneakers that were designed in memory of The Notorious B.I.G. All lots outsold their high estimates of $5,000 by multiples, with the highest selling for more than $32,000.
"Michael Jordan game-worn sports memorabilia has proven time and time again to be the most elite and coveted items on the market," said Brahm Wachter, Sotheby's head of streetwear and modern collectables, in a press release."However, items from his 'Last Dance' season are of a greater scale and magnitude as seen with our record-breaking sale of his Game 1 jersey in 2022.
