The Christie's sale broke the record set in May when a pair of Air Jordan 1's sold for US$560,000. NBA legend Michael Jordan wore these Air Jordan 1 Highs during a 1985 exhibition match in Italy
A pair of Michael Jordan's game-worn sneakers sold for US$615,000, Christie's auction house said last week, shattering a record set just months ago by the sale of another pair of the basketball legend's shoes.
The sneakers were a pair of Air Jordan 1 Highs that the NBA megastar wore during a 1985 exhibition match in Italy when he dunked the ball so hard it shattered the glass backboard.
