A pair of Michael Jordan’s sneakers from his famous Last Dance season set a world record on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), selling for $US2.2 million ($3.3 million) at Sotheby’s.
With a stroke, the Air Jordan 13s became the most expensive sneakers known to have sold, ever. This particular pair, according to Sotheby’s media release, was the final pair of Air Jordan XIII Breds (shorthand for “black and red”) that “Michael would ever lace up in an NBA game”. He wore them in game two of the 1998 NBA Finals.
