A pair of Air Jordan XIII shoes from 1998 has become the most expensive pair of sneakers ever sold after a buyer paid $2.2 million for them in an auction run by Sotheby’s in New York on April 11.
Authentication specialist MeiGray Group, an official National Basketball Association (NBA) partner, confirmed that the shoes were the ones Michael Jordan wore in game two of the NBA finals in 1998. He wore them in the second half of the game, playing for Chicago Bulls against Utah Jazz; he scored 37 points in the game, helping his team tie the series 1-1. Chicago Bulls went on to win the series 4-2.
