Michael Jackson ‘Moonwalk’ Socks Estimated to Sell for Upwards of $2M at Auction
Michael Jackson made history when he debuted the Moonwalk on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special in 1983, and now the crystal socks he wore during that performance could do the same when they go up for auction.
Per TMZ, the socks are being auctioned as part of a collection of memorabilia from late Epic Records executive Frank DiLeo who signed Jackson to the label and managed him from 1984-1989. The estimated going price for the socks? Between $1 Million and $2 Million!
The socks do include a certificate of authenticity, so yes…these socks are the ones.
