Michael Jordan 1984 Olympic shoes highlight SCP Winter Auction

Michael Jordan was so generous he sometimes gave away his game-worn shoes.

Like this pair from his NBA rookie season that he signed and gifted to his long-time college friend, which sold for $420,000.

SCP Auctions now has another pair of special Jordan sneakers — a pair he wore as a college player in the 1984 Olympic Trials — in its 2022 Winter Premier Auction.

Jordan wore the pair of Converse sneakers in the final game of the 1984 Olympic Trials in San Diego on July 25, 1984. He wore the shoes throughout the trials and gifted them to the teenage son of the USA team physician, who was with the team on parts of their journey.

The shoes are dual signed by Jordan in red ink, as well as by fellow future Hall of Famer and 1992 “Dream Team” teammate Chris Mullin, plus 1984 USA players Vern Fleming, Alvin Robertson and Wayman Tisdale. The shoes are estimated to sell for $75,000 or more.
