Pharrell Williams Announces Auction of Iconic Jordans, Nov 6-18

URGENT UPDATE: Music icon and 13-time Grammy winner Pharrell Williams has just announced a highly anticipated auction featuring five exclusive pairs of Air Jordans, set to take place from November 6 through November 18. This auction, hosted by Pharrell’s auction house JOOPITER, follows the record-breaking sale of a signed Michael Jordan rookie card for $2.5 million earlier this year.

This extraordinary collection includes multiple sample pairs, with three being signed and two worn during intense Chicago Bulls playoff games. Among the standout items are game-worn baseball cleats, Air Jordan IXs, gifted to former Orlando Cubs player and NFL tight end Ed Smith. Another highlight is a pair of Air Jordan VIIIs worn in Game 1 of the 1993 NBA Playoffs against the Atlanta Hawks, which were gifted to Michael Jordan’s well-known security guard, John Michael Wozniak, known for his role in the documentary “The Last Dance.”

One of the signed pairs is a sample version of the iconic Jordan Air 1s, while the other two are sample Air Jordan XIs. One pair was worn during the Bulls’ historic 1995-96 season, where they achieved an impressive 72-10 record, and the other during the playoffs when they defeated the Seattle Supersonics in a thrilling six-game series.

Caitlin Donovan, JOOPITER’s Global Head of Sale, stated,

“Each of these shoes reflect a chapter in Michael Jordan’s evolution as not only an athlete, but as a global icon whose influence continues to shape culture.”
