How much would pay an Air Jordan 1 used by MJ?
Spoiler: it's more than you're thinking about right now

An unnamed buyer bought a pair of customized, game-worn Nike Air Jordan I sneakers at an auction in Dallas, Texas for $55,000 — the highest price ever paid for this shoe’s particular style. Upon Michael Jordan’s return from injury during his second season in the NBA, Nike modified his Air Jordans with a visible heavy nylon and aluminum buckle customization and tension cord to aid in the stability of Jordan’s foot while playing.
Chris Ivy, the director of sports collectibles at Heritage Auctions where the shoes were sold said to the press:
Only a tiny handful of game worn Jordan I’s are known to exist, and this unique pair is by far the rarest and most desirable of that breed, as our result would confirm.
