    Michael Jordan's first-ever Air Jordan fetch $560,000 at the auction
  • The sneakers worn by basketball legend Michael Jordan fetched $560,000 in an online auction, said the auction house, Sotheby's.

    The autographed Air Jordan 1s, designed for the player's rookie NBA season in 1985, were sold by collector Jordan Geller, also the founder of the sneaker museum Shoezeum.

    Notably, the price of these sneakers eclipsed the value of 1972 Nike running shoes, "Moon Shoe" ($437,500).
