A pair of sneakers worn by Michael Jordan just sold for $2.2 million, setting a new world record for the most expensive shoes ever purchased

• Sneakers worn by Jordan in the 1998 NBA Finals just sold for $2.2 million. 
• The sale set a new world record, topping the $1.8 million paid for a pair of Kanye West's sneakers. 
• The market for "trophy assets" remains strong, while the secondary market for sneakers has softened.

Nike Yeezy prototypes worn by Kanye West, now known as Ye, during the 2008 Grammys used to hold the world record for most expensive sneakers ever sold.

That crown now belongs to Michael Jordan.
