Iconic Game-Used Cleats: A Tribute to Football Legends

A Collection of Historic Significance

In the realm of football memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game like the cleats worn by legendary players. This remarkable lot features four single cleats, each a testament to the enduring legacy of its wearer. These cleats not only symbolize the grit and determination of the players but also commemorate a poignant moment in history—the first games played after the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Jim Flanigan’s Green Bay Packers Cleat

Jim Flanigan’s cleat, a “REEBOK” manufactured piece, is a striking white with green trim. This cleat was worn during the first game following 9/11, a game that held profound significance for players and fans alike. An American flag pin adorns the laces, serving as a symbol of unity and resilience. The cleat is marked with the number “75” in black marker, and a piece of athletic tape on the bottom reads, “Jim Flanigan – Green Bay Packers Shoe Worn In First Game After 9-11-01.”

Dorsey Levens’ Green Bay Packers Cleat

Similarly, Dorsey Levens’ “NIKE” manufactured cleat, also white with green trim, carries the weight of history. Worn during the same significant game, it features an American flag pin in the laces. The cleat is marked with the number “25,” and the tape on the bottom reads, “Dorsey Levens G.B. Packers Shoe In First Game Played After 9-11-01.”

Jake Plummer’s Denver Broncos Cleat

Jake Plummer’s cleat, a “NIKE” manufactured piece with navy blue trim, is not only game-used but also autographed. Plummer’s signature, “Jake The Snake 16,” is inscribed in black marker, adding a personal touch to this piece of sports memorabilia. The autograph is rated an 8, reflecting its clarity and preservation.

Junior Seau’s San Diego Chargers Cleat

Completing this extraordinary collection is Junior Seau’s “PONY” manufactured cleat. This white cleat is autographed by Seau, with the inscription “#55” in blue marker, rated a 6-7. Seau’s cleat is a tribute to his illustrious career and his impact on the game.
