Lets see your game used shoe collection!!!

It may just be me, but it looks like they aren't the same style of shoe. Looks close at the pattern of the red part of the shoe and how far back the nike swoosh extends. Am I seeing this wrong?

I believe this is an angle thing in the pic and I surmise Mears thought similarly as they authenticated the item. A part of the reason may very well be the LOA from Jack McGuire and Albersheim, a pretty strong line of provenance.

Would love to see other pics from that game from other angles though.

Spent months researching Rice's footwear as I also owned a pair of turf shoes from the same source (since sold). Rice rarely wore anything but predominantly white cleats with the red Nike swoosh over his 49er career. Did find a clear style match for the turf shoes from the infamous Dallas game where TO danced on the star, and this pic for the cleats. Not surprised both were donated to SFCC as again the style conscious Rice seemed to favor white cleats with the red swoosh.

Found that SI issue and purchased it, anxious to check the pics...
