Kanye West's Air Yeezy sneakers have fetched a record-breaking $1.8 million at a private auction.
Sotheby's sold the size 12 footwear, which the 43-year-old rap megastar wore for his iconic 2008 Grammys performance, to sneaker investment platform RARES.
The footwear sold for almost three times more than the previous record-holder, basketball legend Michael Jordan's signed Nike Air Jordan 1 sneakers, which went for $560,000 at Sotheby's online auction last year.
The black leather shoes with a faded Nike Swoosh were designed by Kanye, Mark Smith at Nike's Tiffany Beers at the Innovation Kitchen in Oregon.
The 'Stronger' hitmaker's Yeezy line went on to make him a billionaire.
