Demand for sports memorabilia also is rising, as evidenced by the $10.1 million paid in 2022 for a jersey Jordan wore during Game 1 of the 1998 Finals; that set a record as the most paid for a piece of game-worn memorabilia sold at auction. In 2021, a pair of Nike Air Ships worn by Jordan sold at the auction house for over $1.4 million, and in 2019, a pair of Nike Waffle shoes sold for $437,500, according to Sotheby’s.
The sale coincides with the theatrical release of “Air,” a film starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck that chronicles the sneaker company Nike’s courtship of Jordan during his rookie season in the NBA.
