Jordan’s illustrious career as a player has paved the way for him to become a very successful businessman. His Jordan Brand continues to be one of the highest earning sneaker and apparel manufacturers in the world, and has been able to sign some of the best athletes in different sports as its endorsers.
While the Olympic shoes he wore is not the most popular he ever laced up, it’s also not common for his game-used pairs to be auctioned, which explains why it got sold for a huge amount. However, it is believed that he has some pairs that could pay even as much as double of $190,000,000 including the “Flu Game” and “The Shot” Jordans, just to name a few, should it be auctioned in the future.
