    Need picture of Larry Bird wearing these..

    Supposed Larry Bird used shoes during his last season 1991-92. It looks like they're dated 5-15-92. Anyway, I found pictures of him using this style of shoe but they didn't have any green on them. Come on picture experts-help me out. Thanks,
    Greg

    Come on experts-find me just one photo. Grey Flannel has these in their upcoming auction, but I won't bid without a photo match. I haven't found one yet. ANYBODY? Thanks for you help.

    Note-all the photos show Larry in a home white uniform. Likewise, the shoes in the photos have white inserts. Is it possible that he wore these on the road with the green jerseys?

    The Detroit Tigers used to have white trimmed shoes at home and orange trimmed for the road. Could the Celtics have had a similar foot wear policy? Similar, The Portland Trail Blazers wore white shoes at home, red shoes on the road (to match their red jerseys).

    Locate a photo of Bird on the road, and you may be able to put closure to this.

    I looked at quite a few Bird pics and can only find these style 'verse with the white star & chevron, along with the white 33 and white lettering on back.

    Maybe Ken Griffey Jr. colored them in...making them even more valuable!

    Could be Howard. I'll keep searching-BUT-like everybody else on here, I've only been able to find the Black and white with NO green.

    greg,

    clearly, something caused GFC to attribute those shoes to bird and to those specific years. why not just ask them for that 'something'?

    King Jammy-that's a picture of Lelands selling a pair that were never used by Bird. I'm not saying Grey Flannel is selling bad shoes. I just want to find a picture to verify that he ACTUALLY wore that style. The auction hasn't opened yet, so I'm waiting for it to open so I can see what they have to say about them. In the meantime, keep searching boys. Thanks for the help.
