Michael Jordan gave the separate shoes to Chicago Bulls communications executive Tim Hallam, after decisive games that helped the club win six NBA championships from 1991 to 1993 and 1996 to 1998. The purchase price achieved at auction at Sotheby's in New York is a record for such an unusual offering -- and the second highest ever for Michael Jordan collectibles. That was a record for the shoes, "Bred" ("Black and Red") Air Jordan XIII, which were signed by the player. The six shoes sold on Friday were an Air Jordan VI (1991), VII (1992), VIII (1993), XI (1996), XII (1997) and an Air Jordan XIV (1998).
