Even after retiring from professional basketball 17 years ago, NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan is still setting records.

Sotheby’s announced that Jordan’s first edition of his 1985 Nike Air Jordan sneakers has been sold for a record-breaking $560,000.

The Game-worn autographed Nike Air Jordan 1s set the world auction record for a pair of sneakers.

“Building off the momentum from our debut sneaker sale last year, which previously set the record for a pair of sneakers with the Nike Moon Shoe, we wanted to set the bar even higher for our second sneaker sale,” said Brahm Wachter, Sotheby’s director of eCommerce Development, in a written statement.

The immensely popular sneaker was so successful that Nike continued to make new signature Air Jordans each season.
