GRAHAM — The picture by the door.
The picture near the kitchen.
The pictures on a table.
In Susan Snipes’ home, reminders of her son Peedie are all around.
But her most important keepsake isn’t obvious to strangers.
It’s been in a closet for years since his death. Top shelf. A shoebox.
Inside is a pair of black, gray and red Air Jordan basketball shoes. Left toe scuffed. Size 13.
The previous owner: Michael Jordan himself.
Nineteen years ago, the basketball legend pulled these shoes out of a duffel bag, signed them and handed the pair to a beaming Peedie, who died two weeks later.
Now they can be yours.
For the right price.
• • •Snipes wants to be clear about one thing.
She never intended to sell the shoes. Ever.
They were always meant for Peedie.
But she’s running out of options. And time. So a closet was opened a month ago.
“They would’ve stayed there forever — except for Mikey,” Snipes says.
That’s one of her other sons. Peedie’s older brother by 11 months.
He’s in a Kentucky federal prison, trying to appeal a life sentence stemming from his latest drug conviction.
To do that, he needs a lawyer.
But lawyers require money, and Snipes has none.
Unless she can sell the Air Jordans.
How much?
She isn’t sure. The offer just needs to be fair.
But what is a fair price for something that holds such sentimental value?
Snipes isn’t sure of that, either.
Whatever the Air Jordans go for, it won’t be enough.
“I cry when I think about getting rid of them,” says Snipes, her voice almost a monotone. “I’ve lost Peedie again.”
• • •Snipes’ life has been all about loss.
“I don’t know,” she says, “when was the last time I had joy.
