• Christie's just launched its Gamechanger auction series.
• The first auction in the series is "Original Air: Michael Jordan Game-Worn and Player Exclusive Sneakers Rarities," in which 11 of the basketball legend's sneakers will be sold.
• The series will also include "For Love of the Game" as well as "The Athlete: Photography by Walter Looss Jr," both of which will end in mid-August.

Another day, another Christie's sale.

Beginning July 23, the famed auction house will publicly launch its Gamechangers series, paying homage to the greatest athletes of all time.

The series will start with two online auctions: "For Love of the Game," a private exhibition lasting from July 20 to August 14, and "The Athlete: Photographs by Walter Looss Jr.," which will run from July 23 to August 11.

But one particular auction in the series is perhaps the buzziest. Created in conjunction with sneaker marketplace Stadium Goods, "Original Air: Michael Jordan Game-Worn and Player Exclusive Sneaker Rarities Auction" will offer one of the most comprehensive selections of sneakers worn throughout Michael Jordan's career.

Browsing for the Michael Jordan Game-Worn auction will begin today and bidding will be held from July 30 to August 13. The collection includes 11 sneakers deemed the "rarest of the rare" by the auctioneers, and proceeds from the sale's top lots will benefit the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

Here's a sneak peek at the 11 pairs of sneakers set to be auctioned in the Michael Jordan Game-Worn auction, in ascending order of estimated sale price.

Note: Some of the pairs are mismatched in size — in these cases, the left shoe is size 13.5 while the right shoe is size 13.
