Spokesmen for Sotheby’s, the English auction house, said it was a price that broke the world record for sneakers. The buyer was Miles Nadal, Canadian investor and collector of cars.
Nadal said in a statement feeling excited about this purchase, also described the shoes as "historical artifacts of pop culture and sport."
The “Moon Shoe” shoes represented the most important lot of the auction of sports shoes made by Sotheby’s in New York. This model was designed by Bill Bowerman, co-founder of the company and athletic trainer at the 1972 Olympic Games.
These sneakers were handmade and have never been worn. According to the auction house, the highest price that sport shoes had reached was $ 190,373, which they paid for autographed Converse sneakers and used by Michael Jordan in an Olympic basketball final in 1984.
