Jordan had given the shoes to a then-11-year-old ball boy, who happened to be the son of Los Angeles Lakers great, Gail Goodrich.
The auction listing details how Goodrich's son got the shoes directly from Jordan, who signed them in the locker room after the gold medal final game.
The Converse sneakers, which include the orthotic inserts Jordan wore, are the last pair that he put on for a competition as an amateur, before starting his NBA journey with the Chicago Bulls.
The Olympic match also marked the last time that Jordan was ever seen wearing Converse.
He later signed a deal with Nike and was the face of the Air Jordans -- a move which boosted the then relatively-obscure sportswear company to fame.
The previous record for game-worn shoes stood at $104,765 in 2013, for a pair that Jordan wore during an NBA game in which he was ill, dubbed the "Flu Game".
