They are ARods size - will check when I get home. I got them probably 12-13 years ago from the baseball cleated product manager at Nike at the time. Every year we would make guys like Arod, Griffey... 12-14 pairs of their signature shoes, and we would send them 3-4 pairs to start the season. When they needed more their agent would contact us and we would send them a few more pairs. At the end of the season they may not have used all of their allotment up so those were stored at our facility. That is how I get this pair. They are the same 40/40 model we made for retail, but we put ARods name on the tongue and heel plus his number which was not standard to do.

I'm with you!
I just thought that there were people out there who were collecting the shoes of great players like we collect cards?
My source?

Collecting shoes is a huge billion dollar + industry, and resale of Nike retro shoes like Jordan's are larger than the other major shoe companies sales of their new shoes! Typically any Jordan retro shoe sells for $225-300+.
100% correct. Before I got back into cards, I collected shoes. My collection includes Jordans, Kobes and Lebrons and was at 400 pair before I sold down to about 150 pair. It is a fascinating hobby because of the nuances and thoughts behind a shoe, and how they represent a player at a specific time in their lives.
Wow 400 is no joke! I had about 250 at my peak thought that was alot, guys collect Jordans same as guys collect high end rcs. Still holding on to my Jordan 1s and air force 1s.

I actually have a pair of ARod's shoes from the Mariners I thought about putting in this deal but did not know if there would be any interest.

Originally posted by: maddux69 Not sure if it is allowed, but I will go $60 on both my lots, #25 and #26.
No reason why you cant bid on lots you donated. Just think about how much you can save on the shipping!!!!!
Seriously, we're trying to raise $$$ for Michelle & Mike's kids benefit. It's not like your part of a "buying group" trying to support prices in a consignment auction.
The auction items are amazing. Other than those size 13 nikes, which I was going to wear, I couldn't pull the trigger.
So, after reading some more about Mike's family via SMR and the internet, I'm good for $100 to the cause. Let me know whom to to send the money to.
all the best..
