Leading the sale was a pair of game-worn and dual signed Air Jordan XIIIs from Michael Jordan’s last regular-season game of the Chicago Bulls’ championship season, which sold for $375,000. Other highlights from the sale include a complete collection of Virgil Abloh Nike Off-Whites, which achieved $62,500, and a complete set of Kanye West Adidas Yeezy 350s, which realized $37,500.
