Jordan’s actual signature shoes sold for 1.47 million U.S. dollars as the most expensive sneaker in history
The charm of Michael Jordan sneakers must not need to be recounted, but poverty limits imagination. What is surprising is that a pair of shoes actually worn by MJ was sold at Sotheby’s auction as high as 1.472 million. Amazing price in US dollars! It seems that Michael Jordan is not only a GOAT on the court, but also an amazing achievement in the position of the shoe industry.
The shoe with the highest auction price in history recently is this shoe named “Nike Air Ship”. This pair of shoes was created in 1984, when Nike designer “Bruce Kilgore” officially launched Michael Jordan’s personal signature shoe “Air Jordan 1”, specifically for his on-field combat shoes.
This pair of shoes appeared on the NBA regular arena, which was the fifth game of Michael Jordan’s career. The opponent was the Nuggets. After the game, Jordan signed the shoes and presented them to caddie TJ Lewis.
And Lewis, after more than 30 years of collection, decided to take out this pair of sneakers for Sotheby’s to auction. Oh my god, it’s just a gift from the sky!
The last Sotheby’s auction price in Las Vegas was 1.472 million US dollars, which became the most expensive sneaker in auction history! The buyer is a senior sports collector named Nick Fiorella.
This price must far exceed the value of the performance and cost of the sneaker, but this is an artwork that can be displayed in the art museum!
However, the most expensive sneaker in history is not this pair of Nike Air Ship (this pair is the most expensive in auction history). The highest-priced shoe is currently worn by the American rapper and popular indicator Kanye West at the 2008 Grammy Awards. Nike Air Yeezy, previously sold under the name of “Grammy Worn” for public welfare, at a price of 1.8 million US dollars, also occupied the throne of the world‘s most expensive sneakers!Return to Sohu to see more
