Michael Jordan‘s autographed Jordan VII Dream Team kicks — rocked by His Airness during the Olympic qualifiers in 1992 — just hit the auction block!!
Historically, Jordan’s are the most sought after shoe … now, imagine signed Jordans worn by, well, Michael Jordan … while part of the most dominant and historic basketball team of all-time.
The 7’s are on the auction block at Lelands Auction … and there’s already a $16k bid — with over a month remaining in the auction.
In other words, these are gonna go for a FORTUNE!!
Jordan wore the shoes during the gold medal game of the Tournament of the Americas … a qualifying tourney for the ’92 Summer Games in Barcelona.
10 teams from North, Central, and South America competed. Team USA — with MJ, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and a bunch of other Hoops Hall of Famers — were the #1 seed.
On July 5, 1992 … MJ — wearing this pair of J’s — along with his Team USA … obliterated Venezuela in the tourney finals, winning 127-80.
The win sent the United States to the Olympics … where they continued to DOMINATE the world on the hardwood.
Lelands says MJ gifted the white size 13 J’s to a Dream Team staffer the night of the game … and the employee held onto them for years.
Jordan memorabilia has EXPLODED in value (not that it was ever cheap) since “The Last Dance” docuseries … with everything from MJ’s baseball cleats to canceled checks to Donald Trump‘s casino going for big bucks.
Happy bidding!
