First time offered, are a pair of Willie Mays game-worn turf shoes. These shoes along with the Mays game-used uniform offered during this current auction, were also acquired from the Jimmie Hayes collection. Mays had gifted these shoes along with the other times to his longtime personal friend. The shoes are Adidas multi-turf with the trademark three stripes down each side. What is unique, is that the original white stripes were painted over by the team to match the Giants orange team color. On the back of the left shoe, on the upper heal, one can see the faded period marking of number 24. On the back of the white shoe, the upper heal was not painted over, for reasons unknown. The original soles were restored, however the upper portion remains in excellent original condition. These shoes are properly marked, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion show excellent wear.
