Michael Jordan's Signed Game-Worn Sneakers Available Now

Michael Jordan's autographed Air Jordans from the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals hit the auction block.

Throughout almost all of the 1990s, the Chicago Bulls dominated the New York Knicks. The lion's share of the credit belongs to the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan.

New York entered Game 4 of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals with a 2-1 series lead, looking to upend Chicago's quest for its first three-peat. However, Jordan scored 54 points, tying the series 2-2. His iconic performance shifted momentum in Chicago’s favor for the remainder of the playoffs. 

Starting today, fans have a chance to own a piece of history. The size-13 Air Jordan sneakers Jordan wore in the game have been autographed and made available for auction at PWCC Marketplace.

Jordan's game-worn and autographed Air Jordan VIII shoes open for bidding at 7 p.m. PT on Thursday, February 2, in PWCC’s February Premier Auction.

“Jordan played a monster game in these shoes that Chicago desperately needed to keep their three-peat hopes alive,” said Nick Cepero, Manager of Memorabilia at PWCC Marketplace. 

Cepero continued, “It’s rare to find a game-worn and autographed pair of Jordan’s shoes, especially from a game as big as this one. These are a grail item for any memorabilia collector and fan of the GOAT.”

The shoes come with a letter from Robert Scarpetti, a retired Chicago police detective who was part of Jordan’s personal security detail from 1984-1995. In the letter, Scarpetti states that he received the shoes directly from Jordan. In addition, Sports Investors Authentication conclusively photo-matched this pair of shoes to Game 4 of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals on May 31, 1993.

PWCC Marketplace always goes to great lengths to ensure the authenticity of its memorabilia. Fans can read more about the company's process on its website. Tell us on Twitter if you plan to bid on these historic kicks.
