1993 Charles Barkley Phoenix Suns Game-Used & Autographed NBA Finals Sneakers (JSA) (Impeccable Provenance)

In his magical first season with the Suns, he won the NBA MVP while leading Phoenix to the league’s best record of 62-20 and a berth in the 1993 NBA Finals. The Suns lost to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in a memorable six-game series. These "NIKE" manufactured sneakers are size "16" and are black with grey and white trim. Embroidered in grey on the outer ankle of each sneaker is player number "34." Autographed in black marker on the outside “Nike” logo of each shoe and rates an 8. The sneakers show game-use and are accompanied by a LOA from JSA as well as an impeccable letter of provenance which states, in part, "..I received these Barkley game worn shoes from one of the head security personnel of the Chicago Bulls in 1993 at the old Chicago Stadium...they were autographed immediately after the game and given to me outside the Suns locker room."
