The charm of Michael Jordan sneakers presumably does not need to be traced by the editor, but poverty limits imagination, and it is surprising that a pair of shoes that MJ has actually put on the scene has sold for a staggering price of $1.472 million at Sotheby's auction! It seems that Michael Jordan is not only a GOAT on the pitch, but also has an amazing achievement in the status of the sneaker world.
The shoe with the highest auction price in history was recently achieved with this shoe called "Nike Air Ship". The shoes were created in 1984, when Nike designer Bruce Kilgore was a special field shoe for Michael Jordan before he officially launched his signature shoe "Air Jordan 1".
The shoe debuted on the NBA's regular game, which was michael Jordan's fifth game of his career. The opponent was the Nuggets. After the game, Jordan named the shoepick and gave it to caddie TJ Lewis.
Lewis, on the other hand, decided to put the shoes up for sotheby's for auction after more than three decades of collecting them. Oh my God, it's a gift that fell from heaven!
The final sotheby's auction in Las Vegas sold for $1.472 million, making it the most expensive sneaker in the history of auction! The buyer was a veteran sports collector named Nick Fiorella.
This price is definitely far more than the value of the sneaker function and cost book, but this is a piece of art 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 the history of auction), the highest price of the shoe is the Nike Air Yeezy worn by American rapper and pop indicator Kanye West at the 2008 Grammy Awards, which was previously sold in the name of "Grammy Worn" as a public welfare, when the price was 1.8 million US dollars, and also occupied the throne of the world's most expensive sneakers!
