The sneakers were worn in the series-clinching game of Jordan’s six NBA Championship wins
The basketball icon won half a dozen NBA Championships between 1991 and 1998 with the Chicago Bulls.
He became one of the most famous sportsmen in the world and his parternship with Nike forged one of the most recognizable brands in sports – that has endured long after the end of Jordan’s NBA career.
The $8m sale has been hailed as another ‘reminder of Michael Jordan’s lasting impact’.
‘Today’s record-breaking price is a testament to the GOAT. The Dynasty Collection undeniably ranks among the most significant compilations of sports memorabilia in history,’ Brahm Wachter of Sotheby’s said.
‘(It is) a truly unparalleled moment and milestone in auction history, the sale of these six championship-clinching sneakers will likely never be replicated.’
