Jordan Brand is commemorating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with an exclusive Air Jordan dedicated to The Notorious B.I.G. The company is partnering with the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation for a special sneaker auction of Christopher Wallace x Air Jordan 13. Originally made in 2017 to celebrate what wouldve been the 45th birthday of the late Brooklyn emcee, Jordans namesake brand made the sneaker available this year to celebrate the Jordan Year (23) and 50 years of hip-hop.


We are thrilled that the Jordan Brand and the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation have entrusted Sothebys with these exclusive pairs of sneakers honoring the legacy of The Notorious B.I.G. as part of the Jordan Year 2023 celebration, Brahm Wachter, head of streetwear and modern collectibles at Sothebys, said. The auction marks the only opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike to acquire these special limited-edition sneakers that bring together the legacies of the greatest athlete of all time with the greatest rapper ever.

]]Staying close to the Jordan Year theme, only 23 pairs of the Christopher Wallace x Air Jordan 13 collaboration will be available on an online auction via Sothebys. Live today (January 23) until February 3, each pair are estimated to sell between $2,300 to $5,200. Proceeds from the auction will go towards the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation, established to equip inner-city youth with educational instruments, sponsorships, grants, and community-based mentorship programs.
