A pair of game-worn shoes Michael Jordan donned during his rookie year sold for $1.47 million at auction on Sunday, shattering the previous record of $615,000 set by Jordan shoes last year.
Sotheby's estimated the shoes would go for between $1 million and $1.5 million. Card collector Nick Fiorella put up the winning bid at $1.47M during the Sotheby's Icons of Excellence & Haute Luxury auction in Las Vegas.
Jordan wore the size 13 Nike Air Ship sneakers in his fifth NBA game on Nov. 1, 1984. He had 17 points, five rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes.
