Chicago Bulls Jersey and Sneakers: A Tribute to Basketball Heritage

An Iconic Piece of Basketball Memorabilia

In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game like a game-worn jersey. This particular Chicago Bulls jersey, with its distinctive “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag and size “42” label, is a testament to the rich history of the NBA. The jersey, designed and tailored exclusively for the Chicago Bulls, proudly displays “BULLS” across the front, with the player number “12” emblazoned below and on the back. The name “LESTER” is prominently heat pressed in red across the back, completing this iconic ensemble.

Authenticity and Provenance

This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a piece of history. Presented to us as game-used, it shows appropriate use, adding to its authenticity and allure. The meticulous attention to detail, from the heat-pressed numbers and name to the exclusive tailoring, underscores its significance in the world of sports memorabilia.

Complementary Sneakers: A Perfect Pair

Accompanying this remarkable jersey are “NIKE” manufactured white and red sneakers, each stamped with size “13” in orange on the inside. The sneakers are adorned with the Nike “Swoosh” logo in red on both sides, and “LESTER” is inscribed across the back of each shoe. The top of each tongue proudly reads “NIKE” in red, further emphasizing the brand’s iconic status in sports apparel.

• Player Signature: Lester has signed the inside ankle of each sneaker in black marker, with the added inscription “#12”. These signatures, in our opinion, rate an almost perfect 10, enhancing the sneakers’ value and desirability.
• Game-Issued Status: The sneakers were presented to us as game-issued, adding another layer of exclusivity to this already exceptional collection.
