A pair of vintage Nike running shoes, one of the first made by the sports giant, have fetched a crazy amount at Sotheby’s in New York, smashing the record for sports shoes at a public auction.
The so-called “Moon Shoes” were designed by Nike co-founder and track coach Bill Bowerman for athletes at the 1972 Olympics trials.
The pair are believed to be the only ones of their type never to have been worn.
