MESA, Ariz., Jan. 22, 2025 – One of basketball's most iconic artifacts, Michael Jordan's game-worn Air Jordan I sneakers, is now available for bidding through Infinite Auctions. This extraordinary pair, possibly the last original Air Jordan I sneakers worn by Jordan during an NBA game, will be auctioned online until February 8, 2025.
The sneakers hold a legendary story. On October 29, 1985, during a game between the Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors, Jordan suffered a fractured bone in his left foot while wearing these shoes. This injury sidelined him for six months and marked a pivotal moment in his career, solidifying his status as a sports icon.
Featuring a striking red-and-white design with black Nike Swooshes, the sneakers show significant wear, including scuffs and loose threads. The left shoe is size 13, while the right is 13 ½, with production codes confirming their manufacture in early 1985. Accompanied by a wire photo from the game, these sneakers are authenticated with a MEARS Letter of Authenticity, enhancing their value as a collectible.
Marshall Perkins, CEO of Infinite Auctions, emphasized the significance of the sneakers, stating, "This isn't just a pair of sneakers; it's a defining moment in sports history." With a monthly viewership of up to 1,000,000, Infinite Auctions provides a global platform for such historic items.
Bidding is currently open, and enthusiasts are encouraged to visit www.infiniteauctions.com to place their bids before the auction closes.
