A pair of sneakers once worn by which NBA legend just sold for a record $2.2M at auction?
The options that are given for this Bing homepage quiz are listed below:
A Larry Bird
B Michael Jordan
C Magic Johnson
The correct answer is Michael Jordan.
See The Reason for That answer below:
During a recent auction held by Sotheby’s, a complete pair of Air Jordan 13 sneakers worn by basketball legend Michael Jordan during the 1998 NBA Finals set a new record for the most valuable sports footwear ever sold, fetching a whopping $2.2 million. The NBA’s official authenticator confirmed that they are the only complete pair of sneakers worn by Jordan in an NBA Finals game to be authenticated, making them even more valuable.
Although these shoes were expected to sell for at least $2 million, they came in below the predicted high of $4 million. The previous record for a sneaker auction was held by a pair of Kanye West’s Nike Air Yeezy 1s, which sold for $1.8 million. Jordan is a highly sought-after athlete at auctions, with other sports memorabilia such as jerseys selling for over $10 million.
Brahm Wachter, the head of streetwear and modern collectibles at Sotheby’s, stated that this sale is a testament to Jordan’s legacy as one of the most influential athletes, businessmen, and pop culture icons of our time. During the 1998 NBA Finals Game 2, Michael Jordan wore these sneakers while leading the Chicago Bulls to victory over the Utah Jazz with 37 points in 40 minutes. He later signed and gifted the shoes to a ball boy who had previously found and returned his jacket during an earlier practice.
The black and red Air Jordans, also known as “Breds,” were banned by the NBA for violating the league’s strict uniform code, which contributed to their legendary status among fans. At present, Jordan possesses the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets and receives millions of dollars in royalties from the sales of Nike Air Jordans.
