Thanks to Darren Rovell of CNBC for crunching the numbers, we now know how much the first 150 Nike Air MAG auctions made. Each pair on average has gone for $6,142, totaling $921,290 raised for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Congratulations to Michael and his foundation, and there are still many more pairs that are ready to be sold.
