The Chicago Bulls were not really a fan favorite until they drafted Michael Jordan in 1984. This turned out to be one of the best decisions the franchise had ever made. Jordan led his team to their first-ever championship and from then on, there was no stopping the team from building an incredible dynasty in the 90s.

NBA Twitter’s reaction to the estimated price

While $100 million for the iconic shoes might seem reasonable to collectors, it prompted several mixed reactions from NBA fans. While some felt that the price perfectly justified the value of the shoes, others found it rather unreasonable. A fan compared the Jordan shoes to a homerun baseball and wrote, “Who the hell would pay $100 million for Jordan?s old sneakers?? If landmark home run baseballs are worth maybe $1 million, why would Jordan?s shoes be worthy of so much more money?”
