Re: Would Nike Really Do This? / Ken Griffey Jr Cleats
The shoes in question, although hard to believe, are legit. Nike actually supplied Jr. with the teal colored pen, too!
I purchased quite a few game used items directly from Griffey's "partners", and had a pair of these. I was told this same story about the pen, and confirmed it with Griffey before a game.

Thanks for the Reply
I am not that into baseball items, but I am going to track these to see how much they go for. I started collecting game used Dallas Cowboys items this past December and way overpaid for some cleats so I am trying to get a feel for what game used cleats go for regardless of the sport.
Thank You,

Re: Would Nike Really Do This? / Ken Griffey Jr Cleats
I heard of this years ago. But this is the first time I actually saw the shoe up close. Pretty neat if you ask me.
It's "odd" but since it's known that they were colored like that I would have no problem owning a pair
Not to mention they're signed. Griff has a sweet sig.Comment

Re: Would Nike Really Do This? / Ken Griffey Jr Cleats
The Orioles used to travel with a bunch of orange paint pens. Jim or Fred Tyler (brothers) the equipement would give them to guys to color their shoes orange. Nike wasnt making orange swooshes for them so guys would color them orange. As far as Griffey, he always wanted to have different stuff than other guys. That would seperate him from others like some sort of star treatment i guess. His stuff is always cool to have. I like those teal shoes.Comment

They are definitely cool, but I would NEVER have believed (until I saw it and heard from several sources) that it's true.The Orioles used to travel with a bunch of orange paint pens.

Re: Would Nike Really Do This? / Ken Griffey Jr Cleats
These are just the backs. They used white thread on the backs but on a later prototype they used colored thread on the backs. I need to locate them and show you the difference.Regards,
