A pair of Michael Jordan game-worn sneakers from 1984 sold for almost $1.5 million on Sunday, setting a record for sneakers sold at auction, per Sotheby's.
The signed red and white sneakers were worn during Jordan's fifth NBA game during his rookie season with the Bulls.
Brahm Wachter, head of Sotheby's streetwear and modern collectibles, said in a statement that the "record-breaking result for the Jordan Nike Air Ships affirms the place of Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan franchise at the pinnacle of the sneaker market."
The buyer was Nick Fiorella, a high-end cards collector, Sotheby’s said in a statement, per Bloomberg.
