Hey, everyone.
Have you bought any new shoes lately?
What did your most expensive
pair of shoes cost?
1,000 NT? … 2,000NT? … 16 million NT?
Whoa! Probably not, right?
Well, someone actually did
spend that much money
on a pair of sneakers!
有人真的花了1千6百萬台幣買球鞋.
And they weren’t even new sneakers!
They were old and they
had been worn before!
也不是新的鞋喔!
Why would anyone spend so much money
on a pair of old,
worn, and … maybe
even smelly sneakers?
That’s crazy, right?
Well, these were special sneakers.
They were worn by someone very special too.
很有名的人穿過這雙球鞋.

Michael Jordan’s right foot was
a little bigger than his left!
People love Michael Jordan!
He signed his name on the sneakers
and put them up for sale.

wanted them.
It finally sold
