As far as sports memorabilia goes, there is no better sports collectible than the aptly titled ‘The Dynasty Collection.’ The man was, undoubtedly, the greatest athlete who ever lived, and his partnership with Nike has made his greatness not only tangible but also wearable. Is there a better way to walk in the shoes of a man who created the Jordan brand? The set consists of an Air Jordan VI (1991), Air Jordan VII (1992), Air Jordan VIII (1993), Air Jordan XI (1996), Air Jordan XII (1997), and Air Jordan XIV (1998).
