A pair of trainers worn by the US basketball star Michael Jordan have sold for a record $1.47m (£1.1m) at auction.
Jordan used the pair of red and white Nike Air Ships during his first season with the Chicago Bulls in 1984.
Also, Michael and Nike activated their partnership in the same year to create his signature brand of clothes and shoes.
Jordan, the first billionaire player in NBA history and the best player in the history of basketball retired in 2003.
"This record-breaking result for the Jordan Nike Air Ships affirms the place of Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan franchise at the pinnacle of the sneaker market," said Sotheby's Brahm Wachter after Sunday's auction in Las Vegas.
The signed trainers were bought by Nick Fiorella, a well-known collector.
