The news covers the historic February 2024 sale of Michael Jordan’s “Dynasty Collection” at Sotheby’s in New York, where a set of six individual sneakers worn during his championship-clinching games sold for $8,032,800, setting a new world record for game-worn sneakers at auction.Key Details of the Sale
- The Collection: Known as “The Dynasty Collection,” the lot consists of six individual Air Jordan shoes (one from each of his title-winning games with the Chicago Bulls):
- Air Jordan VI (1991)
- Air Jordan VII (1992)
- Air Jordan VIII (1993)
- Air Jordan XI (1996)
- Air Jordan XII (1997)
- Air Jordan XIV (1998)
- Origins: Following his first NBA title in 1991, Jordan gifted one of his game-worn shoes to Chicago Bulls public relations executive Tim Hallam, starting a tradition that Jordan repeated after each of his subsequent five championships. The lot was also accompanied by signed, limited-edition photographs of Jordan celebrating with only one shoe on.
