Michael Jordan sneakers break record at auction

A pair of Michael Jordan shoes has broken the record for the highest paid pair of game-used sneakers at auction.

The shoes, said to be used in the gold medal game against Spain in the 1984 Olympics, sold early Sunday morning for $190,373.

"The record-shattering price proves that Michael Jordan has no equal in the marketplace for game-used basketball memorabilia," said Dan Imler, vice president of SCP Auctions, which sold the shoes.
