Michael Jordan may be most-well known for wearing the Nike Swoosh and the Jumpman but before he turned pro and forever changed the game of basketball and footwear, he played for UNC and wore Converse.
One pair of MJ’s Converse shoes recently went up for auction and while it may have not fetched as much as some of his more famous NBA game-worn shoes, the pair still managed to sell for quite a lot of money.
The seriously old kicks sold for $33,387.

That is a lot of money but finding shoes that MJ wore in college can’t be the easiest thing in the world and they are pretty sweet if you’re a Jordan collector with a ton of cash to burn.
