A pair of hand-made jogging shoes was sold in 1972 by Nike Inc., priced at $ 437,000 on Tuesday at the Sotheby's auction in New York.
The pair of shoes "Moon Shoe", designed by the founder of Nike, Bill Borman, for the 1972 Olympics, is one of the 12 pairs in the world and is the only pair not to have worn.
According to Reuters, the price at which shoes sold broke the price index of pairs of sports shoes, while the buyer was the Canadian investor Miles Nadal, who had previously paid $ 850,000 for 99 other pairs of rare sport shoes Dar "Sotheby's".
"The highest price previously offered at an athletic shoe auction was $ 190,373 in California in 2017, for the Converse couple worn by Michael Jordan in the 1984 Olympic Basketball Final," said the auction house.
