-



 More Michael Jordan sneaker memorabilia is up for auction this month, and this time its one of the most historic shoes he wore during his NBA playing career.

Sotheby's and Goldin Auctions are auctioning off a game-worn and signed pair of the original Air Jordan 6 "Infrared" that was worn by MJ during Game 4 of the 1991 NBA Finals, where he would ultimately capture his first championship in. Jordan then gifted this pair to Sonny Vaccaro, the former Nike Executive who signed MJ to his first sneaker deal in 1984. Despite the wear-and-tear on the shoe, Sotheby's and Goldin Auctions are currently estimating the pair will fetch between $500 to $750,000 given its historical context.

Additional Jordan sneaker memorabilia hitting the market via the "A Century of Champions" online auction includes the game-worn and signed Air Jordan 1 High "Chicago" that features a Nike Dunk sole instead of its traditional setup. It's also worth noting that this is the first time the hybrid shoe has made its way to auction and is estimated to sell for $600 to $800,000.

Readers can place a bid for the items in Sotheby's and Goldin Auctions' "A Century of Champions" online auction now until Dec. 7.

R. Kelly is locked up thanks to the release of a new sex tape which shows him years ago having sex with another 14 year old girl. The tape is very graphic and you without a doubt can see it is R. Kelly performing sexual acts on the girl. Defense lawyer Michael Avenatti spoke about the investigation. Avenatti is representing six people in the investigation, including two alleged victims, two parents, and two “whistleblowers.” Avenatti addressed the tape, explaining, “The tape was shot in the late ‘90s, approximately 1999, it depicts two separate scenes shot on two separate days within Mr. Kelly’s residence at the time. The audio on the tape, you can clearly listen to it — it is clear — the video is far superior to the video that was used in connection to the 2008 trial. It is an entirely different video.” He added, “It is also clear from other things that are depicted on the video that this is in no way role-playing during some sexual act,” he said. “It is clear that this young l

CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS)  - A  violent weekend  capped off Chicago's bloodiest week of the year. From April 30 through May 6, 10 people were killed and 73 others were wounded in gun violence across Chicago. This latest outbreak of violence underscores how gunmen are literally getting away with crimes up to and including murder. Overwhelmed police detectives have 155 currently active investigations of 2018 homicides, while "solving" or "clearing" 27 cases, barely 17 percent.  The clearance rate has dropped steadily in recent years, leaving thousands of murders in the last decade unsolved and thousands of killers still on the street. Chicago Police used to solve more than 60 percent of murders, back in the 1990s. New York City cops still do. But the number of CPD detectives has been cut since then.  As Mayor Rahm Emanuel prepares to run for re-election, he'll swear in 100 new detectives later this month and promises 100 more by the end of the year.
