Sotheby’s have been putting some incredible memorabilia and sneaker heat up for auction in recent months. Recently shattering the price record with the ‘Dynasty Collection’ (a complete set of Michael Jordan’s six championship sneakers), the storied auction house continues to push more and more into our beloved sportswear space.

The latest item to arrive at Sotheby’s is another Michael Jordan classic: the signed 1992 Summer Olympics ‘Dream Team’ gold ceremony Reebok jacket. Of course, Michael Jordan was fiercely loyal to longtime business partner Nike at the time, and was vehemently against wearing the Reebok-branded jacket. Jordan famously wore safety pins covering the Reebok logo during the gold medal ceremony, and slung the American Flag over his right shoulder for extra coverage.

After the ceremony, as an August 1992 Sports Illustrated article outlined, Jordan ‘tossed his award suit to NBA Public Relations director Brian McIntyre after the ceremony’ (who is now partnering with Sotheby’s to sell the piece).
