A pair of Michael Jordan\u2019s sneakers on Thursday shattered a record set just months ago by the sale of another pair of the basketball legend\u2019s shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game-worn sneakers which sold for a whopping $615,000, has been confirmed by Christie\u2019s auction house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1985, the Air Jordan 1 Highs was worn by the NBA superstar during an exhibition match in Italy, which helped Jordan dunk the ball so hard that it ended up shattering the glass backboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan ended up with 30 points under his belt while wearing the size 13.5 shoes, red and black in colours of Chicago Bulls team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the head of handbag and sneaker sales at Christie\u2019s auction house, Caitlin Donovan: \u201cThis is the original shoe with an actual piece of the backboard, a piece of glass, in the sole of the shoe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recalling that in May, the Jordan 1 had set a record of $560,000 when it was auctioned off, while the fresh auction bagged an estimated range of $650,000 and $850,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The record setting sales emphasizes the rocketing market value of objects linked to the retired basketball megastar since the release of a documentary \u2018The Last Dance\u2019 that chronicles the saga of Jordan and Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
