$37 Million Arizona Mansion Is An NBA Fan’s Dream — Complete With 290 Pairs Of Air Jordans
A shrine to one of basketball’s greatest ever ballers…
We’ve all heard about grand mansions that make headlines for their wild and quirky features, like that Ferrari-themed home with an actual Ferrari parked in the living room or Michael Jordan’s legendary Chicago estate. But now, there’s a new contender on the rise in Scottsdale, Arizona. This super-mansion isn’t famous for a celebrity owner but for something much cooler: a full-blown tribute to sneaker culture and NBA’s GOAT.
Pay $23.5 million USD (~$37 million AUD) and you will not only get a home but also a $300,000 USD (~ $470,000 AUD) “Jordan Room” filled with 290 pairs of iconic kicks. Imagine waking up, grabbing your morning coffee, and strolling into a room that’s basically a mini sneaker museum.

The Arizona Mansion
The estate covers 21,000 square feet and is luxury on steroids. It was built in 2017 and has seven bedrooms with 18 bathrooms, so you’ll never have to wait your turn. The aesthetic flawlessly balances rustic cosiness with sleek elegance through its Costa Rican wood ceiling and Chicago brick exposed facades, imbuing it with a luxurious but homely ambience. The best part is outdoors, where it features two resort-inspired pools featuring cascading water elements and an ideal pool bar for summer parties.
There’s also a nine-hole putting green, five chipping pads, and a golf simulator that makes every day feel like a PGA event. And if jogging is your thing, there’s a private jogging track so you can take a victory lap around your own mansion.

Another amazing sports amenity is the full-sized underground basketball court that is built to professional standards and has seen some serious talent over the years, including NBA legends like Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, Mikal Bridges, and the late, great Kobe Bryant. The mansion is clearly not only a sneaker paradise but also a sports lover’s playground.
The “Jordan Room”
One of the house’s most special and discussed aspects is the $300,000 Jordan Room. It is not structured as a closet but as the ultimate sneaker shrine. The room is filled with 290 pairs of Air Jordans with custom wood shelves, fluorescent lighting, and a giant Jump Man logo periling over a basketball hoop.
The mansion also includes a dedicated sneaker room featuring a Jumpman logo and capable of holding up to 325 pairs of shoes. Image: Zillow
The space isn’t a collection of shoes crammed onto shelves. It contains grails such as the Air Jordan 1 “Top Three,” the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “University Blue,” and the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 4 “Cactus Jack.” The classics aren’t left out, either, such as the Concord 11 and the classic Jordan 12 “Flu Game.” And with room for 325 pairs, there’s plenty of room for your next sneaker splurge or five.
So, if you’re a sneakerhead or sports fan (with a seriously stacked bank account), this place isn’t just a house but the ultimate dream come true.

The Mansion’s Iconic Features
Jordan’s estate, built in 1995 during Chicago Bulls glory days, is an athlete’s dream, packed with luxurious amenities. The property sits on seven acres and boasts nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, and a host of lavish features. Most notably, the iconic “23” decorated on the front gate of the house pays tribute to Jordan’s legendary jersey number.
Inside, the mansion includes a cigar room, a library, and an indoor gym that Jordan would occasionally use for pre-game workouts with his teammates. The property also features a tennis court and a private golf course, making it ideal for recreation and relaxation.
The home was also famously showcased in Travis Scott’s music video for “FRANCHISE,” further adding to its celebrity status.
Jordan’s Struggle to Sell the Mansion
Despite its luxury appeal, the house was on the market since 2012 with a hefty $29 million asking price, until the price dropped to $15 million in 2015, hoping to get the house out of Jordan’s hand with a more reasonable price.

Jordan slashed the price multiple times over the years, eventually landing on $14,855,000 in recent listings–a number that curiously adds up to 23 when the digits are combined, symbolizing Jordan’s famous Bulls jersey.
The slow sales have been attributed to the house’s custom design and niche appeal. While it’s a perfect match for a basketball or sports enthusiast, finding a buyer with similar tastes was challenging.

What This Sale Means for Michael Jordan
For over a decade, this sprawling estate has been a symbol of his legacy in Chicago, a city where he cemented his status as arguably the greatest basketball player of all time. Selling the property not only separates Jordan from his physical connection to the city but also reflects his evolution from athlete to global icon and businessman.
While Jordan continues to thrive as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets and remains one of the highest-earning athletes in history, offloading this mansion represents a shift in his life. As his business ventures have grown, including his partnership with Nike’s Jordan Brand and other high-profile investments, Jordan’s lifestyle and priorities have changed.
A Piece of Basketball History
The mansion not only served as Jordan’s private residence but also a piece of Chicago basketball history. Michael and his then-wife, Juanita Jordan, raised their three children before their divorce in 2006. The property’s sale marks the end of an era, but the estate’s connection to Jordan’s legacy lives on.
Final Thoughts
With the property now listed as sold to the buyer, the sale appears to be on track to finally close. While Michael Jordan might not have fetched his original asking price, the nearly $15 million deal reflects both the property’s high value and its connection to one of the greatest athletes in history.
The home sale is a significant chapter in Jordan’s post-basketball life, and the mansion will always carry a unique piece of his legacy.
