Sneaker News Being one of the most revered athletes to ever live, it’s no surprise that many consider Michael Jordan to be the personification of greatness. And this is not without merit, as the living legend has earned many an accolade during his time in the NBA: 6 championships, 6 final MVPs, 5 league MVPs, and 2 Olympic Gold Medals. His legacy even spans beyond the court by way of Jordan Brand, which made history all the way back in 1985 with the Air Jordan 1.
In further celebration of Michael Jordan’s illustrious career — and the signatures that outfitted him along the way — Sotheby’s presents “The Dynasty Collection,” whose lots are comprised of the very sneakers that helped the goat take home his NBA titles.
Facing Magic Johnson and the LA Lakers, Michael Jordan saw his first NBA finals appearance in 1991, claiming his and the Chicago Bulls first title in a pair of Air Jordan 6s. MJ would continue to dominate in 1992 and 1993, wearing the Air Jordan 7 and Air Jordan 8, respectively. And following a brief retirement, the Air Jordan 11 would arm the Black Cat for his bout against the Seattle SuperSonics in 1996, which ended in a 87-75 victory. His Airness would then oppose the Utah Jazz in two consecutive years, thus closing out another three-peat: the Air Jordan 12 would join him in 1997, while the Air Jordan 13 and Air Jordan 14 would witness his very last championship in 1998.
Save for the Air Jordan 13, Sotheby’s “The Dynasty Collection” is made up of the above-mentioned sneakers, each worn by Michael Jordan himself. If you’d like to catch a look at every pair in-person, they’ll be on display at Sotheby’s Dubai from Feb. 27th to Mar. 3rd. More information can be found at Sothebys.com.
