Michael Jordan’s shoes sell for record price

In a statement made by Sotheby’s Auction House, it was stated that the “Nike Air Ships” sneakers that Jordan wore in 1984, in his rookie year of his career, were sold for $ 1,472 million at an auction held in Las Vegas.

In the statement, it was emphasized that the record for the highest price for a sneaker in auction houses was broken. The 58-year-old former basketball player wore the shoes in his 5th game with the Chicago Bulls jersey, where he started his career.

The shoes that the famous US singer Kanye West wore during his performance at the 2008 Grammy Awards were sold for $ 1.8 million in April.
