Many would argue that Michael Jordan is the greatest single athlete to ever play a professional sport in this country, and surely there is much to back up that claim. Selected as the third overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in the 1984 draft, Jordan quickly began to take shape as the incredible star and leader he has come to be, building on his reputation at the University of North Carolina. These shoes were worn by Jordan during his college years at UNC and helped catapult him onto his path for greatness. White and baby blue leather basketball shoes manufactured by Converse. The number "23" has been written on the inner tongue of each shoe in black marker. Both shoes have been autographed by Jordan in blue pen, the left rating a 3 and the right a 5. The shoes show good game-use and appear to have no alterations of any kind. The autograph is accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
