I won these sneakers in a shooting contest back in the mid-80s. Unfortunately, they were too small for me to wear, so I brought them home and tucked them away in my closet as a souvenir. They have literally never touched the pavement/playground/court.
Fast forward four decades, and they are as crisp as the day I won them. Because they’ve been kept in climate-controlled, dark environment, the rubber is supple and the canvas is perfect. You simply won't find a more pristine, "time-capsule" pair in this rare size.

NO RETURNS:
Due to the age of these 40-year-old sneakers, they are sold as a 'collector's archive piece.' While the rubber is supple, I cannot guarantee the structural integrity if they are worn.
I declare that the pictures on this listing are of the ACTUAL shoes being sent upon purchase. They are NOT stock internet pictures.
