Sotheby's Streetwear and Modern Collectibles head Brahm Wachter stated in a statement that the sale "confirms Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan franchise at the top of the sneaker market."
Nike handed Michael Jordan a signature line of shoes and clothing in 1984, according to Sotheby's, which was a critical, unusual effort to attract Jordan to join Nike. According to Sotheby's, "it set the path for many of the player collaborations we currently witness."
