Sotheby's auction house said that Michael Jordan's shoes, which he wore in the 1998 NBA Finals, were sold for $ 2.2 million, becoming the most expensive sports shoes ever.
Jordan wore the boots in Game 2 of the best-of-seven series against the Utah Jazz in his final season with the Chicago Bulls.
ESPN broadcast a documentary about Jordan's last season with the Bulls under the name "The Last Dance" in 2020.
Jordan scored 37 points in the second game to lead the Bulls to a 93-88 victory on his way to winning his sixth championship with the team.
Sotheby's said Jordan gave the shoes to a Utah boy after he found his lost jacket.
The famous auction house sold Jordan's shirt in the first game of the 1998 final for $ 10.1 million last September, becoming the most expensive piece of sportswear ever.
