An autographed pair of Nike Air Jordan 1s in the Bulls' white, black and red from 1985, which Jordan wore most often on the court, sold for $560,000 in an online auction on Sotheby’s on Sunday. It marked the new world auction record for any pair of sneakers, passing the previous record set for the Nike 1972 Nike Waffle Racing Flat ‘Moon Shoe’ which sold for $437,500 in July 2019.
According to a press release provided by Sotheby’s, a bidding war drove up the value by $300,000 in the final 20 minutes of the auction, and the sneakers went for 3.5 times more than their $150,000 high estimate. Bidders ranged from 19 to 50 years old, across four continents.
With the final episode of the documentary set to air on Sunday night, it was perfect timing for the sale.We are extremely excited about today’s record-breaking result,” Sotheby’s Director of eCommerce Development Brahm Wachter said in a statement.
“Building off the momentum from our debut sneaker sale last year, which previously set the record for a pair of sneakers with the Nike Moon Shoe, we wanted to set the bar even higher for our second sneaker sale. We saw tremendous bidding up until the moment the sale closed, with the value more than doubling in the final hour alone. That coupled with strong international bidding from six countries on four continents 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.”
