A game-worn pair of Nike sneakers from Michael Jordan’s glory days sold for a record $560,000 -- almost four times the initial estimate for the autographed shoes, Sotheby’s said.

Bidding for the “Air Jordan 1s,” custom-made for the Hall of Famer in sizes 13 and 13 1/2 in the Chicago Bulls colors, started more than a week ago in New York. The auction house earlier estimated they would fetch as much as $150,000.
