1976-77 Artis Gilmore Chicago Bulls Game-Used & Autographed Shoes

Artis Gilmore’s Iconic Signed Nike Shoes

A Tribute to a Basketball Legend

In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of a player’s legacy quite like game-worn shoes. The pair of Nike shoes, adorned with white and red trim, stand as a testament to the illustrious career of Artis Gilmore, a towering figure in basketball history. Inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011, Gilmore’s contributions to the sport are celebrated through these remarkable shoes.

Design and Signature

The shoes, manufactured by Nike, feature a pristine white base complemented by striking red trim. Across the back of each shoe, the name “ARTIS” is emblazoned in bold red, a fitting tribute to the man who wore them. Adding to their allure, Gilmore has personally signed the outside of both shoes in black marker. These signatures, in our opinion, rate a combined 8.5, reflecting their excellent condition and authenticity.

Condition and Provenance

While the shoes exhibit very minor vintage aging, this only enhances their historical value, offering a glimpse into the era they represent. Such aging is expected and does not detract from their overall appeal. Accompanied by an ALOA from JSA, these shoes are not only a piece of sports history but also a collector’s dream.
