Jordan also signed one of the sneakers in silver ink, and they’ll come in a wooden box created just for the occasion and etched with the Tune Squad logo. The pair up for auction comes in Jordan’s size 13 and was tailored specifically for his feet as a player sample. The person who acquired the rare sneakers than sold them on eBay for a sum that’s been lost time, but another pair sold that year went for $11,000. One of Jordan’s personal stylists from the film was able to keep a pair that Jordan actually wore and eventually traded it for the car. Someone once traded a pair for a car - It’s amusing to see how much the price has gone up for the OG Space Jam 11s, as one of the legends around the sneaker involves someone trading a pair for a used Honda Civic. The movie-inspired color scheme for the AJ11 is already one of the most iconic shoes from Jordans line, but a chance to own one of the very shoes that started the craze is worth every penny, at least in the context of other six-figure kicks. And that’ll now be possible, as Sotheby’s is auctioning one of the original samples given to His Airness himself.Īn unworn sample of the Space Jam Air Jordan 11 is expected to fetch $150,000 to $200,000 - which would make it one of the most expensive sneakers ever sold at auction. To this day, the only way to get the exact same sneaker Jordan wore in Space Jam is to secure one of the extremely rare pairs made only for him. Only a handful of pairs were made for Michael to wear while filming the movie, and when Nike eventually released the sneaker five years later it inexplicably changed the color of the Jumpman from “concord purple” to “concord blue.” In 2016, the color was switched back as the sneaker re-released for the 20th anniversary of Space Jam - but then the “23” inscription on the heel was swapped for “45,” the number Jordan wore briefly upon returning from retirement. Technically speaking, the real Space Jam Air Jordan 11 has never been released to the public.
