A pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 shoes worn by Michael Jordan set a new auction record by selling for $615,000 in New York. These shoes were worn during a 1985 exhibition game in Trieste, Italy, where Jordan famously shattered a glass backboard. Despite the high price, the shoes did not meet the initial estimate of $650,000 to $850,000. They surpassed the previous record held by another pair of Air Jordan 1s sold for $560,000.
