The “Shattered Backboard” legacy is just one of the many aspects that add to Michael Jordan’s GOAT status. His Airness took flight to the next level during an overseas exhibition game as he shattered a backboard in style.

Jordan, a member of the Stefanel Trieste team, rocked the orange and black jersey which would late become a part of the Air Jordan 1 resurgence and showcased Jordan Brand’s ability to retell stories like no one else. The iconic jersey, whether you’re a sneakerhead or an MJ historian, is a piece of history that is an absolute must-have.

The original jersey, which is also signed, can now be yours as Sotheby’s latest auction is headlined by the Stefanel Trieste threads.

In 1985 when Stefanel sponsored the Stefanel Trieste team, spectators witnessed a spectacular moment in sporting history, as Michael Jordan – almost flying – completed one of the most remarkable dunks of all time, shattering the backboard into thousands of pieces. 35 years later – after inspiring multiple Nike releases and colorways – the game worn and signed jersey from this iconic moment is finally coming to market.

The auction also includes other Michael Jordan memorabilia, including a 1985 game-worn and signed pair of Air Jordan 1s, a Beckett Black Label Michael Jordan signed Upper Deck trading card, multiple deadstock Air Jordan releases, and more. The lot is now live at Sotheby’s site as the bidding closes on December 3.

Jordan memorabilia will forever be a hot item. Whether sneakers, jerseys, or rookie cards, his Airness continues to headline items for collectors and hypebeasts alike.

Sotheby’s, the renowned auction house, recently announced a special auction that has something for everyone. Not only that, but the auction goes towards a good cause that’s close to home for the Jordan family.

The latest charitable online auction is offered by the James R. Jordan Foundation, which was started by Deloris Jordan in honor of her late husband. Full proceeds benefit the organization that is dedicated to empowering children and families in underserved communities through access to educational resources and knowledge, providing a pathway out of poverty.

The curated collection includes cufflinks, jerseys, and art. But these aren’t just any jerseys or accessories.

For example, the standout item from the auction is a single lot comprising a 2012 Michael Jordan x Converse Commemorative Pack and a practice-worn Michael Jordan Air Jordan Brand UNC Colors Jersey. The 2012 commemorative pack features an autographed North Carolina size 40 jersey as well as an autographed pair of the special edition Jordan x Converse Pro Leather sneakers in Michael’s size 13. Additionally included is Michael Jordan’s practice worn Air Jordan Brand jersey in his alma mater’s signature colors of Carolina blue and white, which is not available anywhere else.
