Michael Jordan's 1998 NBA Finals sneakers sell for a record $2.2 million

A pair of Michael Jordan's 1998 NBA Finals Air Jordan 13 sneakers sold for $2.2 million at Sotheby’s in New York, setting a new record for the most expensive sneakers ever sold at auction. These sneakers were worn by Jordan during Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals, where the Chicago Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz 93-88. This sale follows the previous record of $1.47 million set by Nike Air Ships worn by Jordan in 2021. The sneakers are part of a broader 'Jordan Year' celebration, with other Jordan-related memorabilia, such as his Game 1 jersey from the same finals, previously selling for $10.1 million. The auction also featured items from other notable athletes like Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, and Roger Federer.
