An Iconic Moment in NFL History

Step back in time to November 23, 1981, a day etched in the annals of NFL history. Just one day after the San Francisco 49ers’ thrilling 33-31 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, Joe Montana, the legendary quarterback, immortalized this moment by signing a pair of Converse cleats. These cleats, presented to us as game-used, are a testament to Montana’s prowess on the field and his enduring legacy in the world of football memorabilia.
