乔丹运动鞋拍卖价创纪录

A pair of sneakers worn by NBA superstar Michael Jordan early in his career sold for nearly $1.5 million on Sunday, setting a record price at auction for game-worn footwear, Sotheby's said.

苏富比拍卖行表示，NBA超级巨星迈克尔•乔丹在其职业生涯早期穿过的一双运动鞋10月24日以近150万美元的价格成交，刷新了运动鞋拍卖价格纪录。

"The most valuable sneakers ever offered at auction — Michael Jordan's regular season game-worn Nike Air Ships from 1984 — have just sold at $1,472,000 at our luxury sale in Las Vegas," the auction house said in a statement on Twitter.

该拍卖行发布推文说："拍卖史上最值钱的运动鞋——迈克尔•乔丹在1984年常规赛穿过的耐克运动鞋'Air Ships'，在拉斯维加斯的拍卖会上刚刚以147.2万美元的价格成交。"

The astronomical price easily beat the record held by a pair of Nike Air Jordans which sold for $615,000 in August 2020 at a Christie's auction.

这一天价轻松打破了在2020年8月的佳士得拍卖会上以61.5万美元成交的一双耐克"Air Jordan"运动鞋保持的交易纪录。

Jordan is seen by many as the best player in the history of basketball.

乔丹被许多人视为篮球历史上最优秀的球员。

Jordan, who retired in 2003, also became the first billionaire player in NBA history.

2003年退役的乔丹也成为NBA历史上首位亿万富翁球员。
