Basketball Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen is selling off some of his most prized possessions on Sotheby’s next month, including a pair of “Olympic” Air Jordan 7s that were given to him by Michael Jordan himself.
The lot is part of Sotheby’s “The Scottie Pippen Collection,” which will be available for auction starting in early March. As the story goes, MJ wore this original pair of “Olympic” 7s during the Dream Team’s gold medal run at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Following the gold medal game, Jordan gave this pair to Pippen in the locker room and even signed both shoes on the heel.
Also available for auction in Sotheby’s “The Scottie Pippen Collection” are various jerseys from Pippen’s collection, as well as other memorabilia, including his 1994 NBA All-Star Game MVP trophy. The auction will run from March 2 to March 10 at Sotheby’s.com.
