Michael Jordan’s training jersey is slated to appear in Julien’s Auctions’ Sports Legends online sale, a highlight reported by Daily Mail. The piece is part of a broader event that gathers iconic sports uniforms and personal artifacts from legendary names across multiple disciplines.
The training jersey from the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona is anticipated to fetch a substantial sum, with early estimates suggesting around $600,000. Proceeds from the sale are earmarked for the James R. Jordan International Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping young people realize their potential and achieve success in their pursuits. The auction lineup is expected to attract significant attention from collectors and fans alike, featuring Michael Jordan jerseys alongside items tied to other celebrated athletes such as Pelé, Diego Maradona, Tom Brady, Rafael Nadal, and Floyd Mayweather.
Earlier this year, a pair of Michael Jordan sneakers set a new record at auction, selling for approximately $2.2 million. The Air Jordan XIII was worn by Jordan during the Chicago Bulls season of 1997-98, a period that culminated in a championship run. In Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals, Jordan delivered a standout performance with 37 points, contributing to a 93-88 victory over the Utah Jazz and cementing that season as a defining moment in his career.
In related news, memorabilia associated with Pelé, the Brazilian soccer legend, is also expected to appear at the auction, adding to the event’s breadth and appeal for collectors who seek a constellation of sports history in a single sale.
