CARLSBAD, Calif., June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Upper Deck, the
leader in authentic sports and entertainment memorabilia and
premium collectibles, announced today that the company will release
a series of Air Jordan shoes autographed by the legend himself,
Michael Jordan. The highly
anticipated lineup will launch with never-before released signed
Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Bred' 2019 sneakers. The global sports legend
first debuted the shoe on April 26,
1996, during a playoff run that led to Jordan's fourth NBA
Championship and 1996 NBA Finals MVP trophy.
The Air Jordan 11 is one of the most beloved original classic
black and red colorways and considered a must-have for Jordan
collectors. Premium black patent leather wraps around the base of
the upper shoe, combined with ballistic mesh along with a crisp
white midsole, carbon fiber midfoot, red translucent sole and
iconic black jumpman logo, all packaged in the original box design
from 1996. The Upper Deck release features size 13 sneakers with
the six-time NBA champion's authenticated autograph in silver paint
pen on the left shoe that comes with a matching certificate of
authenticity.
Michael Jordan has been an Upper
Deck exclusive spokesman for over 30 years, an agreement that helps
collectors confidently know that they are getting authentic
autographs only on Upper Deck trading cards, memorabilia and other
collectibles featuring the greatest basketball player of all
time.
"Along with the increased excitement around autographed
collectibles comes an increase in forgeries in the market," said
Jason Masherah, President of Upper
Deck. "Collectors can have peace of mind when purchasing
Michael Jordan autographed
memorabilia from Upper Deck, including the new signed Air Jordans
from Upper Deck, as each autograph is witnessed and authenticated
by an Upper Deck representative."
The launch of the new autographed Jordan's will serve as a rare
and unique opportunity for the most passionate of Michael Jordan fans and memorabilia collectors.
