Air Jordan 3 Retro Cardinal Red - 44.5 / Standard

Original title: Air Jordan 3 Retro Cardinal Red - 41 / Standard

The first pair of Air Jordans was worn by Michael Jordan during an NBA game in 1985 while playing for the Chicago Bulls, long before his major successes. The sneakers were designed by Peter Moore, and the rest is history. The specific pair auctioned at Sotheby's was custom-tailored for "His Airness" in sizes 48 and 49.
