These vintage sneakers were worn by Jordan in its early pivotal stages and bear the Nike Air logo on its tongue along with his autographed signature on its right shoe.

All set to be auctioned on May 17, 2020, reports suggest the pair is estimated to sell for roughly around $150,000, but sensing its popularity, it could quite possibly go for more.
