More game-worn Air Jordan sneakers are going on the auction block this month.
From July 30 through Aug. 13, Stadium Goods and Christie’s are hosting an online sale of rare footwear and memorabilia titled “Original Air: A Sale of Michael Jordan Game-Worn and Player Exclusive Sneaker Rarities.” A portion of the proceeds from the sale will go to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which both Christie’s America and Stadium Goods had made corporate gifts to earlier this year.
“He wore the black-and-red ‘Bred’ version of the Jordan 14 during the Finals games, but in practice, between games, he wore this very pair of the white-and-red colorway,” said Stadium Goods brand director Ben Jacobs. Donovan also noted that Original Air “marks Christie’s entry into a new collecting category that merges sports history, art, fashion, and contemporary lifestyle” following the Supreme sale in December 2019.
In addition, Christie’s is holding two separate online sales of artworks. The first, “The Athlete: Photographs by Walter looss Jr.” from July 23 through Aug. 11, is comprised of 39 vintage photographic prints of famed basketball, football and baseball stars from the Sixties through the Nineties, including “Michael Jordan ‘The Blue Dunk,’ Lisle IL, 1987.” The second, “For Love of the Game,” from July 20 through Aug.
