Michael Jordan’s 1984 Olympic Converse Sneakers Up for Auction

You’ll rarely see another brand of sneakers besides Air Jordans on this website, but when you do they’ll most likely be of the Converse nature as a call back to Mike’s time at the University of North Carolina. While Mike hit his legendary shot against the Georgetown Hoyas in the NCAA Final Four Championship Game wearing the Converse Pro Leather, here we get a look at a beat up canvas rendition with leather around the surrounding toebox. Talk about creases, as this pair looks to have been used and then some on the court by Mike. MJ would go on to win a Gold Medal for USA during those games. The pair is being auctioned off by one of the ball boys for the men’s national team in 1984, and bidding will start at $5,000. If you can remember, MJ’s “Flu Game” Air Jordan 12s sold for over $100,000 last year.
