Monetizing The Dunk! Air Jordan 1

Hi!

This is my 1st article on DunkSocial and I wanted to start with a short history about my basketball passion but I will leave that for the next ones.

Now I am very excited that this place is well-positioned in Hive and about the whole initiative and Dunk project!
So I made sure to invite some Hive friends over for more engagement and fun!

I've always been passionate about boots and sneakers.
And today I want to tell you something that just happened last month!

AIR JORDAN 1

55 points in a single part of the game!
Remember that?

A pair of Nike Air Jordans, worn by American basketball player legend Michael Jordan, during his NBA debut season - that was in 1984-1985 season, I believe, sold at auction last month for $ 152,500!

Wow!

I have to say that was the main attraction of an international sale organized by Sotheby's and entirely dedicated to sports shoes.
I was checking their Twitter actions before the auction took place and people were fascinated about this item!

💃 💃 💃 They were trending! They were selling a lot commercially. They were even considered to be a niche product 10 years ago.

🏀 And these sneaker shoes were one of the most dynamic markets for auction sales, attracting the general public, which also includes wealthy collectors.
How do I know that?
I've checked the progress of the entire thing!
I told you I am passionate!

Last year, we had seen the case of similar shoes, signed by Jordan and sold for .... $560.000!
Dang! 🏀
