The sneakers worn by Michael Jordan in the 1998 NBA Finals were auctioned at Sotheby's and sold for $2.2 million.
Jordan paired up with Sotheby's in January to auction off 13 pairs of retro sneakers all of which outsold their high estimate of $5,000 multiple times over.
The sales were set to take place during the 'Jordan Year' in reference to Michael Jordan's jersey number, 23.
The record-breaking sneakers were worn by Jordan in game two of the finals against the Utah Jazz .
Jordan scored 37 points that night on the way to his sixth and final championship.
After the game Jordan signed the shoes and gave them to a ball boy.
