FANCY SCHMANCY KICKS (OTE: $80,000+)

At an auction on June 14, 2023, the sneakers worn by Michael Jordan during Game 5 of his legendary 1997 "Flu Game" sold for a whopping $1.38 million!

During that game, despite suffering from food poisoning, Jordan was superhuman, scoring 38 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and assisting 5 times for the Bulls. As a token of his appreciation, Jordan gave his autographed sneakers to Preston Truman, a ball boy for the Utah Jazz. (The ball boy had earned Jordan's favor by providing him with applesauce before the games.)

Truman kept the sneakers for 15 years until 2013 when he sold them for $104,765, setting a record for the highest price ever paid for game-worn shoes. Over the next decade, their value appreciated by an astounding 1,200%.

Although the sale of Jordan's "Flu Game" sneakers broke the million-dollar mark, it fell short of the all-time record for a pair of game-worn sneakers. That distinction belongs to the Air Jordan XIII Breds, worn by Jordan during the second half of Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals. That pair sold for an eye-watering $2.238 million!
