Michael Jordan Photo Matched Game Used Twice Signed 1996 Nike Sneakers JSA COA
$249,995.00
Offered here is an extraordinary pair of Michael Jordan game-used and autographed Nike Air Jordan XI “Concord” sneakers, conclusively photo-matched to Chicago’s February 16, 1996 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center in Minneapolis. During the contest, Jordan delivered another signature performance, pouring in 35 points while adding 7 rebounds and 4 assists in a thrilling 103-100 Bulls victory. The win represented Chicago’s 45th triumph during their historic 72-win season — a campaign that ultimately culminated in Jordan and the Bulls capturing their fourth NBA Championship. The accompanying photo-match analysis from Resolution Photomatching confirms the offered black-and-white Nike Air Jordan XI “Concord” sneakers, size 13.5, as the very pair worn by Jordan during the game. Widely regarded as one of the most iconic sneaker designs ever created, the Air Jordan XI became synonymous with MJ’s triumphant return to championship glory. Adding another layer of provenance is the accompanying Pacers ballboy Letter of Provenance, which details the memorable circumstances under which the sneakers were obtained directly from Jordan. The letter states in part: “To my surprise, when the Bulls returned on February 18th, 1996, MJ promised me the shoes upon arrival. While in the locker room after the game, I accepted the shoes and requested that MJ autograph both shoes.” Both sneakers are beautifully signed by Jordan on the outer collar area in black marker, with the signatures projecting strongly. The autographs are further accompanied by a full James Spence Authentication LOA. Accompanied by the aforementioned Resolution photo-match documentation, the Pacers ballboy provenance letter, and the full JSA authentication letter. Direct firsthand provenance, and undeniable connection to arguably the greatest single season in NBA history, this offering represents an elite museum-quality Michael Jordan artifact from the peak of the Bulls dynasty.
