A pair of trainers worn by basketball legend Michael Jordan fetched $615,000 (￡460,000) at an online auction on Thursday.

The Nike Air Jordan 1 High sneakers, described as the "rarest of the rare", were used by the Chicago Bulls star in an exhibition game in 1985.

In total, Christies sold nine pairs of Jordan's shoes to celebrate his 14-year career with the team. There is a big market for rare trainers and collectors can pay high prices.
