. The waffle-soled running shoes, one of 12 pairs ever made, were designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman for the 1972 Olympic Trials.
The Nike Air Jordan 1s were made exclusively for Jordan, and featured red laces instead of black and white. "Produced between February to April 1985, Jordan wore the present pair of Air Jordan 1s during an early, pivotal point of his career and thus catapulted the sneaker's popularity," Sotheby's said."Wearing mismatched shoes most of his career, the pair is in a size 13 and a 13.5 ."Nike also didn't even offer mid-top sneakers to the public then -- only highs and lows, according to Sotheby's.
"Jordan wore Air Jordan 1s until October 29, 1985, when he broke his foot and subsequently took off 64 games during his second season while healing," Sotheby's said."He wore modified versions of the Air Jordan 1 upon his return to the game."the ESPN docuseries about Jordan and the Chicago Bulls NBA dynasty., the network said in a statement. That makes"The Last Dance" the most-viewed ESPN documentary ever.
Sotheby's said the shoe sale"shows not only the incredible appeal of Michael Jordan as one of the most recognizable and legendary athletes of all time, but also that sneaker collecting is truly a global and growing market."According to Stockx, a website where people can buy and sell sneakers and streetwear, between January 1 and the premiere of the series on April 18, 217 pairs of the 2015 Air Jordan 1 'Chicago' retro trainer were sold for an average price of $925.

Youre tellin me the aution house thought Thee Micheal Jordans shoes were gonna sell for LESS than $180,000 Tell me how.
That money should be used for charity
Such is the microcosm of humanity’s complete failure.
People mad about someone spending their money on this but not mentioning how Government just handed company’s/CEOs 100 times that much.
Who’s buy that
Most people play charitable but I swear everyone spends his money they he feels!
Stupid
$560,000 Should I give to St Judes or buy someone elses shoes ? SHOES !!!
Breaking news: people are dying Breaking news: people are starving Breaking news: people are infected Breaking news: people are homeless Not breaking news: a pair of shoes for more than half a million $
I became a victim for more than 50,000 American in Okinawa, Japan for a rape incident in 1995 by US army. I and my mom deserve the best and an apology and appreciation and best treat. I don't deserve ignorance, abuse, scars and damages on my body..
Millions out of a job and the rich spend $560k on shoes. LetThemEatCake
Just stoopid 🤦🏻♂️
That's a lot less important than this: Please do your part to get H.R. 333 - Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act passed into law. It'll help medically retired veterans take care of their families and bills and even help the predicted shortfall of SocialSecurity
I wouldn’t pay 10 bucks 😂 , trash
I don't get the hate! Who are these folks telling people how to spend their money.

That's pretty cool, if I had that kinda money I would probably spend it on old rare hot wheels lol
People complaining how the buyer could have used that money to buy food for those unable to work right now. I bet very few of y’all complaining bought food for the less fortunate when you were able to. Anyone NOT buy themselves something so they could instead feed strangers?
Good timing. Planned I’m sure.
Who bought them?
Eeewww.
Looks like the real problem is democrats now!
They look dirty and funky but whatever
In this economy?
⭐️🥀🕊
Stupid money 💰
NOSTALGIA
Oh to have half a mil to spend on used shoes...
Yes, they probably should have consulted with the judge and jury of the CNN cult of followers as to what they were allowed to spend their own money on
Baby world news The number of corona virus cases increased sharply due to the U.S. hasty lifting of the economic easing blockade. This is because the number of patients in New Jersey and South Dakota has increased a lot.

Some people have tons of money to waste.
More money than brains!
Fun fact, MJ sacrificed his daddy to win basketball games.
How is this helpful?

Sad with 40 million unemployed.
That's just wrong. If you can blow that much on used shoes, think how many people you could feed.
Is the message here: “Oh look at what I just did! I have so much money I can do stupid sh!t like this!”
What a world....peeps can't pay their rent and others can drop more than half a million on used shoes......wow...!!!!!

Total waste of money. Struggling families could have been blessed during this pandemic. Greed
This is what’s wrong with us. A disgusting symptom.
