Jordan used the pair of red and white Nike Air Ships during his first season with the Chicago Bulls in 1984. That was the year he and Nike began their collaboration to create his signature brand of clothes and shoes. The price is the highest ever paid for game-worn footwear from any sport. Jordan is seen by many as the best player in the history of basketball. The shooting guard, who spent most of his career with the Chicago Bulls, became a global icon and helped raise the NBA's profile around the world. Jordan, who retired in 2003, also became the first billionaire player in NBA history. The signed trainers were bought by Nick Fiorella, a well-known collector. Before the auction, they had been estimated to sell for between $1m and $1.5m. They are, however, not the most expensive trainers ever sold. That record belongs to the rapper Kanye West, whose Nike Air Yeezy 1 Prototypes fetched $1.8m via a private sale in April. The record price for trainers has been broken several times in recent years, and the market now attracts interest from general buyers as well as leading collectors. 【 全文翻译 】 迈克尔·乔丹运动鞋以147万美元拍卖售出，创下纪录 美 国篮球明星迈克尔·乔丹穿过的一双运动鞋，以147万 美 元（即110万英镑）的价格拍卖售出，创下最高纪录。1984年，乔丹效力于芝加哥公牛队，在他的第一个赛季期间，乔丹曾穿过这双红白相间的Nike Air Ships运动鞋。就在那一年，乔丹和耐克开始合作创办他的标志性服饰和运动鞋品牌。
