[Sport] Michael Jordan: qué tienen de especial las zapatillas del basquetbolista que logra un registro de subasta

[Dr.Drako]

 

It stands to reason that a Michael Jordan shoe auction could fetch a huge figure, but the pair put up for sale this Sunday was special. And it achieved a sales record.

New York auction house Sotheby's sold a pair of "His Majesty" training shoes for $ 560,000 in an online bid.

This is a pair of 1985 Nike Air Jordan 1s, worn by the legendary basketball player in his first season with the Chicago Bulls. Also, they were autographed.

 

They were expected to fetch a price of up to $ 150,000, but the figure was far exceeded.

The previous record for a pair of sneakers was $ 437,500 for a pair of 1972 Nike Moon.


 

A very particular feature of the auctions this Sunday revealed that Jordan used different sizes, since the left was size 13, while the right was 13.5.

The Air Jordan 1s were sold by Jordan Geller, who founded the Shoezeum museum in Las Vegas.

 

"I decided to sell them because now is the right time," Geller, who bought the shoes in 2012, told Darren Rovell of the Action Network.

The sale coincided with the launch of the final documentary chapter of the television series The Last Dance about Michael Jordan, which revealed footage of the Bulls in the battle for their sixth NBA title in the 1997-98 season.
