Gary Payton, famously known as “The Glove,” is regarded as one of the greatest defensive guards in NBA history. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and represented the United States in two Olympic Games, winning gold medals in both 1996 and 2000.

Game-worn memorabilia from Hall of Fame players is considerably scarcer than standard autographed merchandise, and Olympic game-worn material represents an especially interesting part of Payton’s career.

The shoes are offered in their original game-worn/used condition and show visible signs of wear, age, discoloration and use. Please carefully review all photographs, as they form an important part of the condition description.

The autographs remain clearly visible on the toe areas of both shoes.

The Certificate of Authenticity shows age, handling and creasing consistent with its age.

Everything pictured is included in the sale.

A rare opportunity to own an authenticated, game-worn and autographed pair of Olympic shoes from one of basketball’s greatest guards and a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
