Before Kanye West came along and stamped his name all over the idea of a celebrity sneakers endorsement deal, Michael Jordan had the game wrapped up. Basketball's all-time greatest player was an obvious target for sponsorships and endorsements, and in the Air Jordan, he found a line of income which has lasted far longer than his playing career. New Air Jordans are still released to this day.
They're expensive when they're brand new, but if you have a pair of vintage originals, you could really be in the money. Air Jordan 1's in gold and black sell online for $25,000 if they're in pristine condition. Air Jordan 12 OVOs and Air Jordan 2 OGs are also worth well over a thousand dollars each. The message you should be taking from this list is clear - stop throwing out your old sneakers. In fact, stop throwing out anything at all!
