NBA legend Charles Oakley wore these sneakers during the 1993-94 NBA season with the New York Knicks. This was Oakley’s lone All-Star season, in which he averaged a perfectly symmetrical 11.8 points and rebounds per game while starting every game of the Knicks season. He helped the Knickerbockers to 57 wins and the Atlantic Division title, which led to an appearance in the NBA Finals against Hakeem Olajuwon and the Houston Rockets. “Oak” upped his production in the Knicks playoff run, scoring over 13 points per game as the Knicks fell in a heartbreaking seven game series to the Rockets.

     These Nike shoes are made of white and blue leather, and show heavy wear. Blue Nike swooshes are applied to the outside of each shoe, while “Nike Air” is embroidered in white on the heel of the shoes. A white Velcro strap crosses the tongue of the shoes. Oakley signed the toes of the size 15 kicks in black marker. These shoes come with a LOA from MEARS for game use, and COAs from JSA for the signatures (left: 455043 and right: R455044).
