A pair of shoes worn by Kanye West during his performance at the 2008 Grammys just sold for a record 7-figure price. The prototype Nike Air Yeezy 1 brought in a whopping $1.8 million in a recent private sale, according to Sotheby’s. The $1.8 million sale price breaks the record for the most expensive pair of sneakers ever sold, nearly tripling the previous high of $615k for a pair of 1985 Nike Air Jordan 1s Michael Jordan wore when he broke a backboard during a preseason game in Italy.
Kanye famously wore the kicks, known as the “Grammy Worn” Nikes, at the 2008 Grammy Awards, when he performed “Hey Mama” and “Stronger.” Ye and Mark Smith designed the size 12 shoes, a combination of Nike and Yeezy signature brandings. There’s a classic Nike Swoosh, plus a Yeezy forefoot strap and a bright pink “Y” medallion lace lock.

The Justice Department launched a wide-ranging “pattern or practice” investigation of Louisville’s police department on Monday, in the wake of last year’s police shooting death of Breonna Taylor.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a news conference that the civil investigation into the Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government and the Louisville Metro Police Department is to determine “whether LMPD engages in a pattern or practice of violations of the Constitution or federal law.” The investigation, he said, “will assess whether LMPD engages in a pattern or practice of using unreasonable force, including with respect to people involved in peaceful expressive activities” as well as if it “engages in unconstitutional stops, searches and seizures” or “unlawfully executes search warrants on private homes.”
Taylor was killed in her apartment by LMPD officers in March 2020 while they were executing a search warrant. Two Louisville detectives connected with the incident were fired in January, five months after Officer Brett Hankison was similarly dismissed for blindly firing 10 rounds into Taylor’s apartment during the search.
Under the probe, if the Justice Department concludes there is reasonable cause to believe there is a pattern or practice of constitutional or statutory violations, it will issue a public report and will “aim to work with the city and police department to arrive at a set of mutually agreeable steps” that can be taken to correct problems. If an agreement cannot be reached, the department has the authority to bring a civil lawsuit seeking injunctive relief to address violations.
On Monday, officials said that the United States will release millions of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine doses to other countries. White House senior adviser for COVID-19 response, Andy Slavitt, made the announcement on Twitter saying:“U.S. to release 60 million AstraZeneca doses to other countries as they become available.”
The announcement comes amid mounting pressure from lawmakers and experts since the United States has millions of doses of AstraZeneca vaccine that is authorized in other countries, such as India, where the COVID-19 crisis is worsening. The vaccine is not yet authorized for use in the United States. Slavitt responded to some of the criticism, tweeting: “To everyone who understandably says: ‘about time’ or ‘what were they waiting for,’ at this time there are still very few available. No real time has been lost.”
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at a news conference Monday the AstraZeneca doses cannot be released immediately since they have to undergo Food and Drug Administration safety reviews, but she expects “in the coming weeks,” about 10 million doses will be available upon the FDA clearance. Psaki added that fifty million additional doses are in “various stages of production” and may be available in May and June.
After 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, linebacker Sean Lee is retiring from the NFL. Lee said in a letter announcing his retirement: “For 11 seasons I was privileged to wear the Cowboys star. We want to play forever. But today, it’s my time to walk away.”
Lee thanked the Jones family and the team’s coaches, as well as his teammates and fans: “To the fans, you lifted me up when I needed it most. I didn’t want to let you down. If there’s a regret, it’s that I never helped bring a championship back home, because you deserve it so much. Whenever I’m near a field, the smell brings me back to when I first started playing, pulling on a helmet, trying on those shoulder pads, that perfect tackle. To think of the journey now, experiencing things I never thought possible with the men and women who make this game what it is, I’m beyond grateful. Thank you, Cowboys Nation. It has been my honor.”
Lee was drafted by the Cowboys in 2010 and made two trips to the Pro Bowl in 2015 and 2016. He was named to the All-Pro first team in 2016. He is retiring as the Cowboy’s eighth leading tackler, and also holds the record for the most single-game tackles for the Cowboys.
