A pair of trainers worn by US basketball star Michael Jordan have sold for a record $1.47m at an auction.
Jordan used the Nike Air Ships during his first season with the Chicago Bulls in 1984.
The price is the highest ever paid for game-worn footwear from any sport.
The signed trainers were bought by Nick Fiorella, a well-known collector.
Before the auction, they had been estimated to sell for between $1m and $1.5m.
They are, however, not the most expensive trainers ever sold. That record belongs to the rapper Kanye West, whose Nike Air Yeezy 1 Prototypes fetched $1.8m via a private sale in April.
