Michael Jordan’s UNC game-worn sneakers sell for big money in recent auction

When people think of the name Michael Jordan, there are three primary things that they think of immediately: basketball, shoes, and Space Jam. Alright, so that last one can be swapped out for a few other things, but there is no doubt that the foundation that the Jordan brand was built on was Michael Jordan’s shoes that he wore during his playing days in the NBA. It is for this reason that the shoes that were actually worn during games usually sell for a ton of money, which is exactly what happened again during a recent auction.

Heritage Auctions of Dallas, TX auditioned off a pair of used Converse high-tops that Michael Jordan wore during his freshman season at UNC.
