The buyer was sneaker investing platform RARES, which paid the highest publicly recorded price for the pair. RARES is a leader in fractional ownership, allowing users to invest in sneakers by buying and trading shares in them.

The private sale shattered the current auction record for sneakers, far above the $560,000 that Sotheby's scored in May 2020 for a pair of 1985 Air Jordan 1's, designed for and worn by basketball player Michael Jordan.
