BBC, 12 Apr 2023
A pair of trainers once worn by basketball legend Michael Jordan has sold for $2.2m (£1.7m) at auction, becoming the priciest shoes ever sold.
The signed sneakers - which auction house Sotheby's had estimated would fetch $2m to $4m - are among the most expensive Jordan items auctioned.
The record price seals Jordan's position as the most valuable athlete at auctions for sportswear memorabilia, with a jersey he wore at the 1998 NBA Finals selling for $10.1m in 2022.
