These sneakers were recently auctioned off for more than 2 million dollars (about Rs 18 crore).
The NBA, according to Sotheby’s, refused to allow Jordan to wear his first braid.
He still wore these sneakers. As a result, Michael was fined $5000 by the NBA after every single game.
This was due to the NBA’s uniform code prohibiting using combinations of black and red.
Although the league outlawed these shoes, Nike marketed them as “Rebellious Shoes.”
This Nike advertisement also had an intriguing tag line.
“Good thing the NBA can’t stop you from wearing these shoes!” he said. (“Fortunately, the NBA can’t stop you from wearing them.”)
