#JORDAN 1 PATINA GREEN LACES UPDATE#
Update 12.11.20 // Another look at the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Patina” has landed courtesy of We have updated our visual mock-up, too, to reflect new features, including a dusty set of rear overlays, aged copper-like forefoot overlays, and a Biohack-styled tack-on tongue tag. Capping off the design is a sail midsole, black rubber outsole, and a set of mint green laces. The forefoot overlays and Swoosh sets arrive in a copper-like finish, complete with the titular patina effect. It arrives with black leather uppers capped in the rear overlays by the titular light green shade. All these marks serve to heighten the value of the shoe.Update 12.02.20 // A first look at the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Patina” has landed through various sources in Asia - and it’s definitely not what we expected. The specific details help, too-the mid-top sneaker design was exclusive to Jordan and no other AJ1 came with red laces. Every scuff mark symbolizes some desperately fought battle with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale. These Jordans follow a similar blueprint: these aren’t just vintage versions of the most iconic shoe on the planet-they are the most iconic sneakers on the planet previously owned by Michael Jordan. Think of it this way: they’re not wrecked, they have patina. They sold for $437,500 at Sotheby’s last year, not in spite of their worn-down appearance but because of it. The most expensive sneaker ever sold at auction is an old beaten-up pair of original handmade Nikes known as the “Moon Shoes,” one of the first ever made by the brand. Sneakers are blowing up at auction by carving out an identity similar to watches: they’re both mass-produced items that see value bumps from scarcity and provenance.
I think that it will have a big impact on the sale.” (The global pandemic with a depression right on its tail curiously hasn’t ravaged auction houses, which are still selling watches, design pieces, and art for record prices.)īut the estimate isn’t just thanks to that documentary. “There's more interest and excitement in Michael Jordan than ever before. “Timing is everything and right now is unquestionably the right time to put them on the market,” he says. This auction was put together quickly over the past two weeks after Geller noticed that Jordan-everything was going up in price because of The Last Dance documentary. Plus, there has never been a better time to be in the business of Jordan. Prices are auction-house-worthy now, too: the estimate for the Jordans going up for sale today is $100,000 to $150,000.Īfter making them the crown jewel of his shoe museum named ShoeZeum, where he says people would come and just sit in front of the display, and keeping them in a lockbox he’d visit on occasion, Geller decided it was time to sell the shoes to a new doting owner. (And, more recently, Supreme skate decks.) Now, sneaker collecting and selling has become a massive business with private investors spending millions to goose startups involved with trading these pieces and some people even make their living by selling the hottest pieces.
Now, eight years later, the sneakers are coming up for auction again-this time from the glitzy auction house Sotheby’s, better known for selling multi-million-dollar Monets and Cartier bracelets. Ultimately Geller won the lot posted to eBay. On offer was a pair of Air Jordan 1s worn and signed by Michael Jordan. In 2012, Jordan Geller was bidding in an auction for arguably one of the most important shoes in sneaker history.
