Sotheby’s auctioned off the coveted sneakers for a record-breaking $2.2 million.
The sneakers are from Jordan’s famed “The Last Dance” season, which was the athlete’s final season with the Chicago Bulls where the team earned its sixth NBA Championship of that decade.
Jordan’s Air Jordan 13s, known as “bred” as a shorthand synonym for “black and red,” is a style the NBA star wore consistently throughout his basketball career. According to Sotheby’s, the NBA would reportedly fine Jordan $5,000 per game when he wore the sneakers because the colors violated the league’s uniform code.
The sneakers, which were part of Sotheby’s Victoriam two-part online auction, follow the sale of Jordan’s 1998 NBA Finals Game 1 jersey auction last September, where the item broke records and sold for $10.1 million, making it the most valuable basketball jersey sold at auction.which chronicles the inception of the Air Jordan brand at the beginning of Jordan’s NBA career.
