New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera wore this left cleat during the 2008 MLB season. Rivera had a typically spectacular season in 2008, recording 39 saves to go with an invisible 1.40 ERA, the second lowest mark of his career. Rivera made the ninth of his 13 career All-Star Games in 2008, leading the Yankees to an 89-win season. This offered Nike cleat is a size 9, with Rivera’s number “42” embroidered on the lace guard in white. Six metal cleats are located on the sole of this shoe, and white Nike swoosh logos are sewn on each side of the foot. Rivera has signed the tongue guard in silver marker, inscribing “08 Game Used Final Season” next to his signature, referencing the Yankees final season in the old Yankee Stadium. This cleat comes with a LOA from Yankees-Steiner Collectibles (160644) and a COA from Steiner Sports.
