Michael Jordan sneakers fetch auction record $2.2m



NEW YORK: A pair of sneakers worn by NBA superstar Michael Jordan sold for $2.2 million on Tuesday, setting a record price at auction for game-worn sports footwear, Sotheby’s announced.

The basketball great wore the “Bred” Air Jordan 13s during Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals on the way to his sixth and last NBA championship title.

The online sale cements Jordan’s position as the most valuable athlete at auctions for sportswear memorabilia.

It broke his own record of $1.5 million for sneakers, set in September 2021.
