Most Expensive Shoe Sold For €2 Million

A record-breaking sale has taken place at an auction, where a pair of trainers once worn by basketball legend Michael Jordan were sold for an astounding $2.2m (£1.7m), making them the most expensive shoes ever sold.

 

 

Sotheby’s had estimated that the signed sneakers would fetch anywhere between $2m to $4m, and they have now become one of the priciest Jordan items to ever be auctioned.

It is worth noting that a jersey worn by Jordan during the 1998 NBA Finals was sold for $10.1m in 2022, further cementing his position as the most valuable athlete at auctions for sportswear memorabilia.

 

 

Prior to this sale, the record for Jordan shoes was set at $1.47m, achieved through the auction of a pair of his Nike Air Ships in 2021.
