NEW YORK - A pair of Michael Jordan's game-worn sneakers sold for US$615,000, Christie's auction house said on Thursday , shattering a record set just months ago by the sale of another pair of the basketball legend's shoes.
"This is the original shoe with an actual piece of the backboard, a piece of glass, in the sole of the shoe," said Caitlin Donovan, head of handbag and sneaker sales at Christie's - which organised the Thursday auction with Stadium Goods. Though the sale broke the record set in May when a pair of Air Jordan 1's sold for US$560,000, the new auction landed below the estimated range of US$650,000 and US$850,000.
