KOBE BRYANT GAME-WORN AIR JORDAN 7 RETRO AVAILABLE AT MEIGRAY.COM

We have an exciting new addition to the MeiGray Select Collection: Kobe Bryant's Jordan 7 Retro sneakers, worn during the 2002-03 NBA Season.

MeiGray Authenticated photo-matched the shoes to three Getty Images, including Getty Image No. 1720183, which shows a black scuff on the back of Bryant’s left shoe as he goes up for the ball during the Lakers' 109-97 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Jan. 5, 2003. The outside of both shoes is autographed by Bryant.

Bryant recorded 31 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in the Lakers' victory that day and went on to average 30 points per game across the 2002-02 regular season for the first time in his Hall of Fame career. The Jordan 7 Retro holds a special place in sneaker culture, and having a pair worn by Bryant during such a pivotal era of his career makes them such a special piece!

The shoes are currently available through the MeiGray Select Collection at MeiGray.com!

MEIGRAY PHOTO-MATCHED "CALLED SHOT" JERSEY SELLS FOR RECORD $24.12MM

Babe Ruth's "Called Shot" game-worn New York Yankees jersey, photo-matched by MeiGray Authenticated, set multiple sports memorabilia records when it sold for a record-setting $24,120,000 in Heritage Auctions' Summer Platinum Night Sports Auction.

The Yankees legend and former home run king wore the jersey in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field during one of baseball's most legendary moments. Ruth famously gestured toward center field before launching a towering 490-foot home run to that spot in the fifth inning of the game.

The jersey, sold to an anonymous private collector, set a new benchmark for sports collectibles. It topped the previous all-time high price held by a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card, which sold for $12.6 million in 2022. Ruth's jersey also shattered the record for a Game-Worn item, previously held by the Michael Jordan 1998 NBA Finals jersey that fetched $10.1 million in September 2022 after being photo-matched by MeiGray Authenticated.
