These shoes are going to sell for millions.

Michael Jordan is someone who has won a lot of NBA Championships. Overall, he has six to his name, and they were all worn during the 1990s. If you hated the Chicago Bulls, then this was a bad time for you. However, if you loved Jordan and his team, then the 90s were a time of jubilation. Moreover, he also got to wear a ton of amazing sneakers during these years. In fact, some of his most iconic sneakers were produced during the years of his championships.

The shoes that Jordan won titles in are the Air Jordan 6, Jordan 7, Jordan 8, Jordan 11, Jordan 12, and even the Jordan 14. Although shoes like the Jordan 8 and Jordan 14 aren't his most popular, they are still iconic thanks to his accomplishments. Now, Sotheby's has all six of these iconic silhouettes in its possession. No, we are not talking about retros or retail pairs. We are talking about game-worn shoes that Jordan sported during his championship playoff runs.

This new set of shoes is being called The Dynasty Collection. There are six game-worn pairs in this collection, and overall, they are signed by Jordan himself. It is unknown which games Jordan wore these shoes in, however, it is known that they were a major part of his championships. Consequently, Sotheby's is expecting this collection to fetch millions of dollars. This could even be their largest auction ever as these are some of the rarest collectibles in basketball history. For now, this is a private sale only, and as it stands, the collection is being put on display in Dubai. Subsequently, the shoes will travel to Hong Kong, and then Singapore.

For sneakerheads, this will be the opportunity of a lifetime. Although, you are going to need millions of dollars in liquid cash to even think about affording these Michael Jordan sneakers. It is definitely a disappointing fate for some, but that is life these days. Let us know what you think of the collection, down below.
