A pair of Michael Jordan's game-worn sneakers has broken the record for the most expensive sneakers ever sold at auction, fetching 615,000 U.S. dollars. The sneakers were a pair of Air Jordan 1 Highs that the NBA megastar wore during a 1985 exhibition match in Italy. He dunked the ball so hard it shattered the glass backboard. Jordan racked up 30 points while wearing the size 13.5 shoes, which are in the red and black colors of his Chicago Bulls team. Interest in Jordan and his sports memorabilia has increased this year since the release of ESPN's docuseries "The Last Dance," which follows the legendary player during the Bulls' 1997-1998 season.
