Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard was issued this pair of Adidas Artillery 2 sneakers in 2008 while a member of the United States Olympic Basketball Team. Howard played in all eight of Team USA’s games at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, leading the team to a perfect 8-0 record and the gold medal while averaging 10.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. These offered size 18 Adidas sneakers are in a United States red, white, and blue colorway. “USA” and an American flag are applied on the heels, while an Adidas logo is embroidered on the back of the heel. Howard has signed both shoes in black marker. These shoes originate from the personal memorabilia collection of Tyronn Lue, who was gifted the sneakers by Howard. These shoes come with a LOA from Tyronn Lue and a LOA from JSA (Z59988). Please note that Tyronn Lue is donating 100% of his proceeds from the sale of this item to the United Methodist Church of Mexico, Missouri.
