Goldin Auctions is excited to offer what is arguably the most important pair of shoes worn by Zion Williamson during his 2019-2020 rookie season. Not since LeBron has a rookie generated nearly as much excitement as Zion has. Drafted #1 in the 2019 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Pelicans, Zion blew fans’ minds in his first 19 games with electrifying, high-flying dunks, monster rebounds and his complete domination of opposing players. Without question, the sky is the limit for this young phenom, having just turned 20 years of age on July 6.

Zion’s imposing presence was felt immediately in his first few games. By his third NBA game, Williamson’s efforts carried the Pelicans, earning his first victory as a pro, and Zion also notched his first career double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds in the Pelicans’ 123-108 victory over the Boston Celtics on January 26, 2020.

This pair of Nike Air Jordan XXXIV sneakers was worn by Zion when he got his first ever NBA win and also his first double-double during the January 26, 2020 game – his third career NBA game. These sneakers have been conclusively photo-matched to this game by both the MeiGray Group and Sports Investors Authentication. This was also the date of Kobe Bryant's tragic passing. These shoes are white and black with pink heel bands. The sneakers are size 15 and display evidence of obvious game wear, especially observable on and around the soles. There are creases on the surfaces of each shoe, including minor scratches and scuffs from game play. Zion has autographed his name in black marker on the left shoe’s toe and inscribed on the right shoe’s toe are “1/26/20 vs Boston 21 pts 11 Rebs” and “Game Used”. These sneakers come thoroughly authenticated with a full LOA from the MeiGray Group (MGA25145), who have photo-matched these sneakers to the January 26, 2020 game and a full LOA from Sports Investors Authentication (200326E2), who have also photo-matched these shoes to the January 26, 2020 game. Additionally, each sneaker has a Fanatics hologram (AA0053367 – left & AA0053368 – right), which provide a coding reference for authentication for Zion’s signature, inscription and game use, as the shoes were originally obtained from Zion by Fanatics.
