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. After the game, Jordan gave the sneaker away to former Nuggets ballboy T.J. Lewis.
This vintage pair of the Nike Air Ship dons a Bulls-themed color scheme with predominantly white makeup while red hits appear on the ankle collar and Swoosh logos. It's worth noting that this pair is also an early version of the original 1984 run, marked with the "Nike" and "Air" branding on the tongue and heel, respectively, whereas later pairs feature "Nike Air" branding in both spots. In addition to the shoe, the winner of the auction will also receive Lewis' Nuggets staff pass from the 1984-85 NBA season.
The auction for this rare Nike Air Ship started earlier this month at goldin.co with a starting bid of $100,000. The auction will close on Sept. 13 at 10 p.m. ET, and at the time of writing, the current bid for the shoe is $160,000.

Years before the first Nike SB x Air Jordan project was released, there were rumors about Nike’s skateboarding division connecting with Michael Jordan’s Nike sub-brand. The intra-Nike collaboration became a reality in 2014 via an Air Jordan 1 designed in partnership with skateboard artist and photojournalist Craig Stecyk . Subsequent collaborations between Jordan Brand and Nike SB have included wear-away pairs like the black and white Lance Mountain versions , which were also released in 2014, ...
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...

According to @zSneakerheadz, there’s a “Denim” iteration of the model dropping in June. Given its far-out release date, a first look at the style has yet to surface but the mockup depiction from the trusted leaker account suggests that it will feature an OG-styled blocking with white leather at the base of the upper while blue denim covers the overlay panels.
