Buyer pays $71,553 for Jordan shoes

A pair of Nikes that were the earliest NBA-worn shoes of Michael Jordan’s that have ever come to market have sold for $71,553. That’s the second-highest price paid for game-worn Jordan shoes. In 2013, the shoes that Jordan wore during the “Flu Game” in the 1997 NBA Finals sold for $104,765. Terry Melia, a spokesman for SCP Auctions, which sold the shoes, said the buyer wished to remain anonymous.
