Michael Jackson's moonwalking shoes coming to auction expected to fetch $50,000 - Announcing our very first auctions
Knaisz Auctions is proud to present our first auction. This sale includes a fine selection of entertainer and music memorabilia from the life and career of the King of Pop. Michael Jackson's legendary moonwalking shoes are set to go under the hammer on Saturday, December 7th, 2013.
Items to be auctioned include a couple drawings made by the King of Pop himself. Also among the rare Michael Jackson items offered for sale are limited and/or signed tour jackets from Jackson's various world tours, a ‘Smooth Criminal’ style white fedora that Michael wore during one of his concerts, and is signed under the brim “All my Love Michael Jackson 1990”, and bears the words “Michael Jackson” in gold lettering inside. It’s estimated to fetch between $2,000-3,000.
Knaisz Auctions also offers for sale an exclusive memorabilia from Michael Jackson's wardrobe, a single white crystal glove owne by Michael Jackson. Yeah, Thriller was released in 1982, but two years later a bunch of the higher ups at CBS Records decided to throw a party at the American Museum of Natural History to celebrate its monumental sales achievements. It was a Black Tie affair and invites were, naturally, printed on a replica of the King’s infamous white gloves. Our white glove is not just one from these replica gloves, but this is MJ's personal invitation glove for the event, customized for his king style. Jackson's early costume designer, Bill Whitten completely covered the back of the glove in Swarovski crystals. The custom-designed white left-hand glove was estimated for $15,000-20,000.
Another major highlight of the auction is an other Swarovski glove. This is a custom-designed, white cotton right-hand glove, the back side of the glove is completely covered in clear Swarovski loch rosen crystals and the palm is bare of ornamentation. The King of Pop, Michael Jackson owned and worn this glove during his "Billie Jean" performance on the Dangerous and on the first leg of his HIStory World Tour. Custom designed and with label by Michael Jackson's long time costume designers, Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins. It’s estimated to fetch between $40,000-50,000.
Why does Knaisz Auctions start its very first auction with Michael Jackson? President and CEO, Balazs Nagy gives you the answer. "We feel a great respect to Michael Jackson" - says Nagy - because he is the most important figure in the history of pop-music. That's why we dedicate our auction to the memory of the one and only King of Pop and of course we would like to allow fans to take home a piece of their idol.
