This actually appears to be the same pair that was auctioned off by SCP Auctions in June for $190,373 - a record price for a pair of game-used sneakers. The previous record was $104,765, which someone paid for the Air Jordan 12s that Jordan wore in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, also known as the "Flu Game."
