Michael Jordan's last season with the Chicago Bulls featured two sneakers in the Air Jordan 13 and 14. Although Jordan wore the Jordan 13 for most of the season, he actually won the chip in the Jordan 14. Overall, both sneakers have proven to be huge hits amongst all of the MJ fans out there. Sneakerheads love these shoes, and Jordan Brand continues to develop new colorways for fans to enjoy. Needless to say, these shoes are legendary and fans are always eager to scoop them up.

Interestingly enough, sneakers that were worn by MJ during his championship runs are now up for auction.

Overall, the story of how this shoe was acquired is quite unique. The ballboy was gifted these by Michael Jordan himself, and each toe box was signed. Now, they are up for auction and Sotheby's is very confident these will go for record prices. According to Sole Collector, Sotheby's is claiming that these could sell between $2 and $4 million. That would be an obscene price, however, as we already know, memorabilia prices have been skyrocketing over the past few years. Collectors want these pieces for their collections, and the appreciation in value makes these worth investing in.

Through Sothebys.com, you will be able to bid on these from April 3rd to April 11th. Although, you are going to need a lot of money if you want to be able to afford these. If you don't have that kind of dough, you can forget that these even exist. You can let us know what you think of the shoes, in the comments section down below.
