Welcome back, Michael Jordan-worn Air Jordan 11 “Breds” from Game 3 of the 1996 NBA Finals.
True, MJ did lace these up for that pivotal game, scoring 36 points en route to a 108-86 Bulls win over the SuperSonics and a 3-0 series lead. And he did sign them before bestowing them upon then-Sonics rookie Eric Snow.
Yet, they sold at auction in 2014 for a piddly sum of $17,126.
Now they’re back and looking to go for considerably more than the price of a Dodge Dart.
And why not? Jordan’s “Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” shoes from 1997 Finals brought in $104,765 in 2013, and the Nike Air Ship pair Jordan wore as a rookie went for $71,554 in April 2015.
A lot more than $17k, which likely explains the Bred 11’s quiet reappearance.
Check photos and provenance below, and view and bid the auction listing here.
