“This is the original shoe with an actual piece of the backboard, a piece of glass, in the sole of the shoe,” Caitlin Donovan, head of handbag and sneaker sales at Christie’s, was quoted as saying in an AFP report.
Jordan had scored a total of 30 points while wearing the size 13.5 shoes, which are in the red and black colors of his Chicago Bulls team.
The sale also broke the record set in May, when a pair of Air Jordan 1’s was sold at $560,000, when it failed to breach the estimated price column set between $650,000 and $850,000.
