It’s been years since Michael Jordan last played on the NBA court, yet alone win his last championship. Since The Last Dance Documentary. Michael Jordan once again cemented his legacy as the GOAT of this generation. Setting the global standard in basketball, sneakers and sportswear excellence.
Certified Sports Guaranty tracked down all six of Michael Jordan’s championship-clinching sneakers. Shoes Michael Jordan wore in games that go on display for the first time as a part of its “Dynasty Collection” memorabilia series. CSG has confirmed that each of the shoes have been worn by Jordan in the final games of his NBA Championships in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Each of his shoes are an iconic and direct connection to Jordan. For his first title, the GOAT wore the Nike Air Jordan 6 that was modeled after his Porsche 911. In 1992, he wore a pair of Air Jordan 7, the first without the Nike branding, and the 8s in 1993 with the “x-strap.” In ‘96, Jordan wore the “Bred” with a translucent sole and for his sixth and final championship, he wore an early prototype of the Air Jordan 14 known as the “Last Shot,” emulating the lines of his Ferrari 550 Maranello. Chairman Mark Salzberg of CSG said:
“Even after examining the world’s most important collectibles for four decades, the Dynasty Collection had the power to take my breath away. For the role these shoes play in our collective consciousness, how they relate to sports, fashion and celebrity, they are the contemporary Ruby Slippers, only rarer.”
Michael Jordan fans and sneaker enthusiasts will have a chance to view these iconic pieces at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey from July 27-31, 2022.
