A complete set of Michael Jordan championship Air Jordan sneakers, worn by Jordan during the clinching victory in each of his six NBA titles and six NBA Finals MVPs, sold for $8,032,800 -- a global auction record for game-worn sneakers, auction house Sotheby's said Friday.

"The Dynasty Collection," represents the second-highest sum netted for Jordan memorabilia, behind the $10.1 million jersey worn in Game One of the 1998 "Last Dance" Finals. A pair of sneakers worn in Game Two of that Finals sold for $2,238,000 last April, at that time the most ever paid for a pair of sneakers.
