Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction September 2024
Earning nicknames such as "Vinsanity", "Air Canada", and "Half Man, Half Amazing". Vince Carter has been ranked as the greatest dunker of all time by numerous players, journalists, and by the National Basketball Association itself. Originally drafted 5th overall at the 1998 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors and going on to a career that would see him suit up with Toronto, New Jersey, Orlando, Phoenix, Dallas, Memphis, Sacramento and Atlanta, Vince is the only player in NBA history to have played in four (4) different decades and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2024. A gold medalist with Team USA at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, offered here is this pair of signed game-worn shoes donned by Carter as a member of the Nets during the 2007-08 season. Nike Shox Spotlight model offerings in New Jersey's blue, white and red colourway, Vince's personal logos appear over the inside and outside of both ankles while Nike swoosh logos are found over both sides as well. Listed over the labels on the interior of each shoe as measuring out to size "16", the shoes are void of their original insoles but do retain their original laces. With the air bubbles of both shoes still inflated and in good condition, the pair shoes evidence of game-wear via a number of light marks, scuffs and abrasions from the hardwood and contact with other players/surfaces while the air bubbles and faux leather of the toe boxes have yellowed over time. Signed by Vince over the toes of each shoe with black marker ink signatures that display well despite some light wear, the shoes hail from the personal collection of former NBA star and current NBA/NCAA analyst Marc Jackson, who received the shoes directly from Carter himself, and are accompanied by his signed LOA as well as a JSA Auction LOA for the signatures.
