The Air Jordan 13-branded shoes used by Michael Jordan in the 1998 NBA Finals series have been sold for $2.2 million.

Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, and his playing memorabilia is of great value to collectors. Recently, a pair of shoes once used by Jordan has set a new auction record.

Auction house Sotheby’s announced yesterday that the Air Jordan 13-branded shoes used by Michael Jordan in the 1998 NBA Finals series have been sold for $2.2 million, thereby becoming athletic shoes. Most expensive sport ever. The old record of US$1.5 million was also set by another pair of Jordan shoes in September 2021.

Jordan wore the Air Jordan 13 in the game 2 series finale against the Utah Jazz, and he scored 37 points in that game. The shoes are still in very good condition, and signed by Jordan himself.

This auction has once again proven Michael Jordan’s leading position in terms of image, when his memorabilia is always very sought after. Last year, a shirt of the 60-year-old legend even sold for up to $ 10.1 million, and to this day, it is still the highest-priced sports memorabilia of all time.
