The sneakers feature a Team USA Olympic colorway, and the number 9 on its heel -- Jordan's number while playing for the Dream Team instead of his usual 23.
This pair is expected to sell for between $50,000 and $70,000.
The other highly coveted game-worn item in the collection is a pair of Air Jordan 11 sneakers in the "Concord" colorway.
Jordan wore this white-and-black "Concord" colorway for the entire 1995-96 season, after his comeback from baseball, before switching to a black-and-red-colorway for the Playoffs.
The "Concord 11s" remain a fan favorite to this day, having been retroed and re-released as recently as December 2018.
This pair is triple-signed by Jordan, and is expected to sell for between $50,000 and $65,000.
A portion of the proceeds from this lot will go to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the US legal organization fighting for racial justice.
"As we've seen with 'The Last Dance' and now with our 'Original Air' auction with Christie's, there are still lesser known narratives in the legacy that create great interest," said John McPheters, co-Founder and co-CEO of Stadium Goods in a statement ahead of the online auction.
"The pieces we've put together for this auction are truly unique, and will have deep resonance for Jordan fans, sneaker connoisseurs and pop culture collectors alike," added McPheters.
In May, a pair of Michael Jordan's game-worn
Nike Air Jordan 1 shoes from 1985 sold for $560,000, according to Sotheby's.
Christie's is also organizing an online auction of 39 rare, vintage photographic prints of basketball, football and baseball stars taken by photographer Walter Iooss Jr.
According to Christie's, Iooss has photographed thousands of athletes, including "the most iconic stars in the biggest arenas under the brightest lights."
"From what I can tell, Walter has never taken a bad shot of anybody or anything," Jordan has said of Iooss.
"Years later, working together on Rare Air, we had become so comfortable around one another that I barely had to look up. You don't have to perform for Walter."
Bidding for the Iooss' prints takes place between July 30 and August 11.
