It is a pair of AJs from 1985. This pair of Air Jordan 1 is the first model of the Jordan series of basketball shoes produced by Nike. It was specially designed for Jordan's rookie season with the Chicago Bulls.
On August 13 at Christie’s auction house, a pair of basketball superstar Michael Jordan’s game-used AJ sneakers were sold for US$615,000 (approximately 4.27 million yuan), breaking Jordan’s other record in May this year. A pair of sneakers sold at auction for $560,000. The pair of sneakers sold this time are signed by Jordan himself and were worn by him in an exhibition game in Italy in 1985. In that game, Jordan dunked so hard that the glass of the backboard shattered. For a time, Jordan's game-used shoes were sold for 4.27 million yuan and became a hot search on Weibo. ?
4.27 million is a huge sum of money for an acquaintance. 4.27 million can buy many sports cars, such as Ferrari 488, Lamborghini Maverick, McLaren 720S, etc. You can even buy a house in Beijing, but for Jordan's true fans, 4.27 million yuan can only buy a pair of sneakers.
This is the first pair of AJs signed by Jordan. The auction price was originally expected to be between US$100,000 and US$150,000. Like most of Jordan's basketball shoes, the sizes on this pair don't match, with a size 13 on the left and a 13.5 on the right. The shoes were sold by collector Jordan Geller, founder of the sneaker museum Shoezeum in Las Vegas. ?
Jordan is the greatest basketball player in history, nicknamed "Air Jordan". He led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships and two Olympic championships. Jordan is a god because the 1990s belonged to him, and every time the game was critical, he would use his signature move to stick out his tongue and tell you the answer. Championship and MVP, he used these honors to influence an entire generation, so that fans of other sports could only watch as Jordan raised the art of basketball to a new level. He is the player in NBA history who best combines golf intelligence, athletic ability and competitive awareness. He can do everything and no player has ever done it better. He has won the scoring and steal titles for three consecutive seasons. His huge influence continues to this day.
