Lot #501:

1988-89 Charles Barkley Philadelphia 76ers Game Worn Signed Shoes - MEARS Auction LOA & JSA

They just don't make them like Charles Barkley anymore. When the Chuckster took the court, he took no prisoners and played with a ferocious attitude.

Although he was listed as 6-6, Barkley was more like 6-4 in all actuality.

These size "15" Nike Air Force shoes were worn by Barkley when he was dominating the NBA in 1988-89. Red white and blue colors are built into the slick sneakers. These show extensive use and were probably used for a few NBA contests. Scuff marks appear on the toe region and sides.

Barkley signed the heel of both in fading blue felt tip. The insides has sock pilling marks and a Nike size tag with this inventory code "881202CH1".

Overall, the finest early career Barkley shoes we have seen.
