These dance shoes were the personal property of the Pop Icon Michael Jackson… I Frank Cascio met Michael Jackson in 1984, when Michael was at the peak of his career. For the next 25 years my family and I traveled the world with the superstar. Michael was a part of our family. Every Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays—we made a point to celebrate together. It became tradition for all of us. Michael would live with me and my family in our house in New Jersey. When I was 18 I became Michael's assistant and then went on to become his manager. Over our 25 year relationship Michael gave me and my family many items this was one of those items." Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from JSA for Cascio's letter.
