Beat up Converse shoes Michael Jordan wore at ‘84 Olympics just set an auction record

NBA legend and Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan is continuing to impress the world, long after retiring.

A pair of beat up Size 13 sneakers Jordan wore during the gold-medal game between the United States and Spain at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles sold for a whopping $190,373.80 on Sunday.

That set a new auction record paid for game-used shoes, ESPN reports. Bidding started at $10,000.

The black and white Converse included his orthotic inserts and were autographed by Jordan. They are considered the last pair he wore in a game as an amateur, said SCP Auctions, which handled the auction.
