It is the highest amount ever paid for a pair of trainers.The Nike Air Yeezy 1 Prototypes beat the previous record, which was held by a pair of Nike Air Jordan 1s that sold for $615,000 last year.“The sale also marks the first pair of sneakers to top $1m,” Sotheby’s auction house said on Monday.[ATTACH=full]3[/ATTACH]West first wore the shoes while performing at the Grammys in 2008. They are a US size 12, or a UK 11.The shoes were bought by RARES, an internet platform for investing in rare footwear. Its users can buy shares in a pair in a similar way to how investors buy stocks in a company, Yahoo news states.They were sold by the shoe collector Ryan Chang in a private sale, which means neither the buyer nor the final sale price can be publicised unless the buyer themselves comes forward.“The sale marks the highest publicly recorded price for a sneaker sale ever,” the auction house said in a statement.</blockquote>
