Michael Jordan’s Game-Worn Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard” Sells For Record $615K
Source: Stadium Goods / Christie’s Well, someone out there just spent a Galactus sized grip on a pair of OG Air Jordans they can’t possibly rock. Source: Stadium Goods / Christie’s A few weeks ago we reported that Stadium Goods and Christie‘s were about to hold a one-of-a-kind auction featuring all kinds of game-worn Michael Jordan memorabilia and not only did it go all the way down, but it shattered records. After all the bids were in and the smoke cleared, a pair of original game-worn Air Jordan 1’s ended up selling for a staggering $615,000, shattering the record setting sale of $560,000 for a pair of Air Jordan 1’s back in May.

Source: Nike / Jordan Brand Well, we already know what one of the most anticipated sneakers of 2021 will surely be. The rumor mill is saying a Supreme x Nike Air Jordan 1 is going to drop in 2021.
