From cards to jerseys and those recognizable Jumpman sneakers, a sprinkle of his legacy is enough to jack up the value. That\u2019s how every Air Jordan auction seems to top the previous one. The proof is in the pudding of the past 12 months alone. His sneakers that were on the auction block \u2013 discounting the jerseys, cards, and other memorabilia \u2013 alone fetched almost $13 million in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=70&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blta90d05ad41a54a71\/bltca0a5bb941ecc80d\/64362f70a8d406b225a5593f\/airjordans.png\" alt=\"Michael Jordan's 'Last Dance' Air Jordan 13s sell for $2.2 million, it's a sneaker  auction record\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Off the court, Jordan\u2019s sneakers have broken records the way he did in his heyday in the past year. These aren\u2019t just collector\u2019s value. The higher a limited edition\/signed\/game-worn sneaker sells, the more Air Jordans became valuable in the retail end, too. In short, Michael Jordan proves he\u2019s the revolutionary of sneaker culture from these auctions alone.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Michael Jordan\u2019s 1996 Finals sneakers \u2013 $482,600<\/h2>\n<p>The sneakers that\u00a0<em>His Airness\u00a0<\/em>wore in Game 5 of the 1996 NBA Finals were sold on April 12, 2024, for a record $482,600 at Sotheby\u2019s. Game-worn, the Finals, coming out of retirement, the start of a second three-peat, these are only some of the factors to make up the hefty price. It\u2019s a tad lower than past sales because Game 5 was insignificant as the Bulls lost to Seattle in that game. They won the championship in Game 6.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

Goldin Auctions said that the autographed shoes received a winning bid of $520,000. But it was bumped by $100k due to the buyer\u2019s premium to cover auction costs. He wore the Nike Air Ships at the start of his 1984 season till the Air Jordan officially hit the market and enjoyed unprecedented sales.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Jordan wore them at his fifth NBA game when he played against Denver. The Nuggets ball boy asked for the shoes after the shootaround. While Jordan initially refused because they were \u201c<em>too expensive<\/em>,\u201d he had a change of heart and gave them to him signed after the game. One of the shoes contains, \u201c<em>My very best to TJ Michael Jordan<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>3. \u2018Flu Game\u2019 Jordan XII \u2013 $1.38 million<\/h2>\n<p>2023 was called the Jordan Year because of the #23 reference.

They sold for an eye-popping $1.38 million in June 2023. The reason is the \u2018flu game\u2019 infamy. A very sick Jordan torched the Utah Jazz with 38 points on his end alone and the Bulls won 90-88. He gave the shoes to a Utah ball boy then.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the\u00a0<em>Last Dance\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>popularity, that ball boy sold the shoes for $200,000.
