Early predictions vastly underestimated the winning bid, for what has been authenticated as one of the earliest game-worn pair of Nikes NBA legend Michael Jordan played in. Earlier today, the autographed Nike high-tops Michael Jordan handed to Khalid Ali — who was one of the Lakers’ ball boys during MJ’s rookie season — fetched a cool $71,553 USD through SCP Auctions. The sneakers are certainly a dream antique for fans of Jordan and sneakerheads alike. However, let us know if you believe $71,000 USD is a reasonable final bid for the shoes, which experts initially valued at $50,000.
