  After selling for a record-breaking  $1.47 million  in 2021,  Michael Jordan's  original  Nike Air Ship  sneaker has made its way back to auction. Up for grabs is a signed pair of the Nike Air Ship that was also worn by Jordan in the fifth game of his rookie season. MJ wore the sneaker on November 1, 1984, when his Bulls team matched up against the Denver Nuggets, where he would score 17 points in 33 minutes of action.
