A pair of Michael Jordan's shoes from 1984 sold for nearly $1.5 million at Sotheby's, setting an auction record for game-worn footwear

A pair of Nike Air Yeezy 1s worn by rapper Kanye West sold for $1.8 million in April, triple the previous record for sneakers - although that was a private sale.

Chicago Bulls’ Michael Jordan dunks the ball during the Slam-Dunk championship in Chicago on February 6, 1988 as a part of the NBA All-Star weekend. The market value of objects identified with the retired basketball superstar have skyrocketed since the release of "The Last Dance," an ESPN/Netflix documentary that chronicles the saga of Jordan and his Chicago Bulls.

The Air Ship shoe that served as the genesis for the Air Jordan series was designed by Bruce Kilgore and originally released in 1984, and it was the first sneaker worn by Jordan as an NBA professional.
